Questions About Certified Translation in New York

Does USCIS Require a Sworn Translator?
No. USCIS requires a signed certification statement from the translator, which states that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate from the foreign language into English.
Certified or Notarized: Which One Do I Need?
It depends on the office that will receive the document, so ask them which one it requires. A certified translation includes a signed certification statement that the content is accurate. A notarized translation confirms only the identity of the person who signed. We offer both.
Do Your Translations Meet New York Agency Requirements?
Our certified translations are prepared to the requirements that New York State agencies ask for, from the Department of Motor Vehicles to USCIS. Each agency decides whether to accept a document.
