Certified translations for a marriage-based green card
If you file with documents in Spanish, USCIS generally asks for a complete English translation of each one, with a signed statement from the translator that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate. That is what we deliver. We do not give legal advice and we are not affiliated with USCIS: always check the instructions for your form at uscis.gov.
Documents people commonly translate
- Marriage certificate (acta de matrimonio)
- Birth certificate of each spouse (acta de nacimiento)
- Divorce decree, or death certificate, for a previous marriage
- Police or criminal record certificate, when your case calls for it
- Any other foreign-language civil record your form instructions ask for
Which documents your case needs depends on your forms and your situation. Ask your attorney or check uscis.gov.
A worked price example
A marriage certificate and two birth certificates of one page each are three documents, three standard pages: 3 x US$10 = US$30. The minimum order is US$15 and the final price is confirmed in writing before you pay.
Before you send your documents
- Names are translated exactly as written. If your passport spells a name differently, tell us in the form.
- Send every page and both sides, with stamps and notes visible.
- If we make a mistake, we correct it at no charge. See the refund and correction policy.
What we do not promise
We cannot guarantee that an agency will accept a translation or approve a case. We deliver a complete, certified translation in the form USCIS describes.
