A certified translation is an official translation of a document. It comes with a signed statement from the translator or agency confirming that it is accurate and complete.
Government agencies, schools, courts, and other offices often require this certification. It confirms that the translation matches the original, with nothing changed or left out. Certified translations are commonly used for legal, academic, and immigration-related documents where precise and reliable translations are essential. For all USCIS applications, any supporting document not in English needs to be translated in a certified format and MotaWord is the best certified translation provider in the industry with 100% Accuracy Guarantee for certified translations.

When submitting documents for official purposes, many institutions require notarized certified translations to verify the authenticity of the translation.
Always confirm with the office that will receive your documents. Schools, credential evaluation services, consulates, courts, some government agencies, and foreign authorities often ask for notarized translations. Our dependable specialists confirm your translations with our free digital notarization service, elevating your documents to a higher level of trust. We can also provide wet signature notarized copies to your address with a small fee.
For immigration purposes, particularly when submitting documents to USCIS, only a standard signed certification of the translation is necessary. USCIS does not require notarization of the certified translation. Still, check the requirements of any other organization or agency that will receive your documents.

Everything you need to know about certified translations for USCIS to ensure your application is approved the first time.
Certified translation starts at $24.50 per page. That price includes the signed certificate of accuracy and digital notarization, so neither one is billed separately. Dense documents and less common languages can cost more per page. Upload your file to see your exact price before you pay, or compare options on our pricing page.
You can order a certified translation online from MotaWord at any hour, without visiting an office. Upload your document, pick the language pair, and pay online. A professional translator handles your file, and the certified version is often ready in as little as 12 hours. If you also need a paper copy, we can mail a notarized hard copy to any US address.
Start with a clear scan or phone photo of every page. Upload your file, choose the source language and English as the target, and pay online. Your translator works from the original, including stamps and handwritten notes. When it is done, the translation and its signed certificate of accuracy appear in your dashboard, ready to print or attach to your USCIS filing.
Yes. Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), every document you submit in another language must come with a full English translation. The translator also has to certify that they are competent to translate and that the translation is accurate. A summary or partial translation does not meet this rule. Read our USCIS translation guide.
Any translator who is fluent in both languages can sign the certification. USCIS does not license translators, so there is no official "USCIS-certified translator" title. What USCIS checks is a complete, accurate translation with a signed statement of competence. At MotaWord, professional translators handle every order, and MotaWord is an ATA corporate member.
A certified translation is a complete translation of your document that comes with a signed statement from the translator. The statement confirms that the translation is accurate and that the translator is fluent in both languages. USCIS, courts, and universities usually ask for this format. See how it differs from a standard translation.
It is not a good idea. USCIS rules do not say who has to translate, but you are a party to the case, which makes your own certification easy to question. A certificate from an independent translator avoids that problem. It also lowers the chance of a Request for Evidence if an officer has doubts about the translation.
No. A certified translation confirms that the translation is accurate. A notarized translation adds a notary's stamp, which confirms who signed the certificate, not the quality of the translation. USCIS asks for certified translations and does not require notarization. Some schools and foreign authorities still ask for it, so digital notarization comes free with every MotaWord order. Learn the difference between certified translation and notarized translation.
Yes. MotaWord provides certified translations with 100% USCIS Acceptance. Every translation includes a signed certificate of accuracy that meets USCIS requirements, and we translate the entire document, including stamps and seals. If your attorney or a USCIS officer requests a change, revisions are free. You can also read what 1,744 customers say about their MotaWord orders.
Delivery takes as little as 12 hours. On longer files, several translators can work on your document at the same time, which keeps multi-page orders moving. Your exact delivery time appears when you upload your document.
We provide certified translations in 120+ languages, from Spanish, Chinese, and Arabic to Haitian Creole, Tagalog, and Tigrinya. Every translation includes a signed certificate of accuracy accepted by USCIS. See all of our certified translation languages.
Yes, you can leave a note for translators during checkout, asking for the preferred spelling of proper nouns. This matters for USCIS, because names should match your passport and the other forms in your file.
