Certified translations for naturalization (N-400)

Documents in Spanish that you send with your naturalization case need a complete English translation with the translator's signed certification. Documents already in English do not need a translation. We do not give legal advice and we are not affiliated with USCIS: check the form instructions at uscis.gov.

Documents people commonly translate

  • Marriage, divorce or death certificates that document your marital history
  • Birth certificates of children, when the form asks for them
  • Court or police records, including certified dispositions, when you have been arrested or cited
  • Any other foreign-language evidence your form instructions ask for

What you must send depends on your own history. Ask your attorney or check uscis.gov.

A worked price example

Two one-page court records and one marriage certificate are three standard pages: 3 x US$10 = US$30. Handwritten, blurry or heavily stamped records are quoted individually. Final price is confirmed in writing before you pay.

Before you send your documents

  • Court and police records often have several pages and stamps. Send every page.
  • Names are translated exactly as written. Tell us in the form if your passport spells a name differently.
  • If we make a mistake, we correct it at no charge.

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.

Common questions

Do I need to translate documents that are already in English?
No. Only documents in another language need a certified English translation.
Do you translate court records?
Yes. Court and police records are priced per standard page. Handwritten or very worn records are quoted individually.
