USCIS Certified Translation Requirements: Full English Translation, Certificate of Accuracy, and What Is Not Required
USCIS uses one federal rule for foreign-language documents: submit a full English translation with a translator certification stating the translation is complete, accurate, and prepared by someone competent to translate. This guide explains what must be translated, what the certificate should cover, why notarization and ATA certification are usually not required, and how to package translations for online uploads, lockbox filings, RFE responses, and interview preparation.
