Why USCIS Requires Certified French Translations for Immigration Applications
If you are submitting documents to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), you are generally required to provide a certified English translation of every document written in French or any other foreign language.
A complete and accurate certified translation helps USCIS process your application efficiently and reduces the risk of delays, Requests for Evidence (RFEs), or other complications resulting from incomplete or inaccurate documentation.
What Is a Certified Translation?
A certified translation is a complete and accurate translation accompanied by a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy stating that the translator is competent to translate from French into English and that the translation is true, complete, and accurate.
Certified translations are commonly required by USCIS, courts, universities, employers, licensing boards, government agencies, and many other public and private institutions throughout the United States.
Which Documents Usually Require Certified Translation?
The following documents commonly require certified English translations:
Immigration Documents
Birth certificates
Marriage certificates
Divorce judgments
Death certificates
Police certificates
Supporting documents for immigration applications
Academic Documents
Academic diplomas
School transcripts
University application documents
Credential evaluation documents
Legal and Professional Documents
Court documents
Powers of attorney
Affidavits
Employment records
Professional licensing documents

Why Accuracy Matters
Accuracy is essential when translating official documents. Even a minor error in a person's name, date of birth, place of birth, or other critical information may delay the processing of an immigration application, result in a Request for Evidence (RFE), or create unnecessary complications.
Every certified translation prepared by Lonji Legal Services is carefully translated, reviewed, and proofread to ensure accuracy, completeness, and compliance with official requirements.
