Who can certify a translation for USCIS?

What that certificate actually is

That certificate is one page of English, stapled to your translation. It says the translation is complete and accurate, and it carries the translator's name, signature, date, and contact details. No government form, no notary stamp. We show a finished one on our certified translation sample page, and ours carries a QR code, so a USCIS officer can scan it and confirm on the spot that it is real and has not been touched. No guessing whether it is legit.

The rule lets you sign it yourself. Don't.

The rule lets you sign it yourself, or have a relative sign it. Don't. Certifying your own documents can cause you a world of pain, and under the new USCIS rules it can end in a flat denial. Here is the part people do not see coming. USCIS can now hit you with a NOID, a Notice of Intent to Deny, and you get 30 days (or less) to answer it. Picture explaining to an officer that “pretendo morar nos Estados Unidos” was supposed to say “I intend to live in the United States,” but your do-it-yourself translation turned it into “I pretend to live in the United States.” One false friend, and the officer is now reading what looks like a confession of fraud. That is how fast a shortcut goes wrong.

You do not need a relative, and you do not need a robot

Do you know how many ChatGPT translations people send us to “just check real quick”? They are terrible. An officer who sees one will laugh in your face. You do not need a relative to do it, and you do not need a robot to do it. Ivy does every translation herself and checks every word. She has done this thousands of times and seen everything, and she signs and guarantees every one. $19 a page, back within 24 hours, with the USCIS acceptance guarantee. Send us a photo, seriously, that is it, and we handle it. Done. Off your plate.

Brazilians: you do not need a juramentada

One thing for the Brazilians reading this. You do not need a tradução juramentada. That is only for documents going to Brazil. The juramentada services will not tell you their stamp is not required here, because their prices are inflated and their turnaround is slow. For USCIS, a certified translation is all you need, and it is cheaper and faster.

The person doing your translation is Ivy, a native Portuguese speaker from Brazil. She signs the Certificate of Accuracy on every order, which is the certification 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires.
