Certified translations for USCIS
Understand USCIS translation requirements, the translator’s certification and how to prepare Vietnamese documents for your immigration application.
USCIS translation requirements
Foreign-language documents submitted to USCIS need a full English translation. The translator must certify that it is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate into English. Check the instructions for your specific form as well.
A complete translation
A complete translation covers readable text, annotations, and stamps. Names, dates, and reference numbers should be consistent and easy to check against the source.
The translator’s certification
The certification addresses the completeness and accuracy of the translation and the translator’s language competence. A signed statement identifies who is responsible for the translation.
Check the receiving institution’s requirements
Before ordering, check the receiving institution’s requirements for language, certification, originals, and notarization. Certified translation and notarized translation are different requirements.
