Certified translation for green card applications
Certified translation for green card applications is $19 a page here, with the signed Certificate of Accuracy the rule requires and delivery within 24 hours. Here is what a typical case needs translated and what the set costs.
The documents most green card cases translate
The birth certificate of the immigrating spouse or relative, in the full inteiro teor version. The marriage certificate for marriage-based cases. Proof that prior marriages ended, usually the divorce decree or averbação. And for consular cases, the police certificate. Your form instructions list your exact set.
One rule covers all of it
Every foreign-language document in the packet needs a complete English translation plus a signed certification of accuracy and competence, per 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Complete means stamps, seals, and the back page with its averbações. Partial translations are a top RFE cause, as our RFE guide shows with real cases.
What the whole set costs
A page is up to 250 words, so short certificates run 1 to 2 pages each and a typical 3 to 4 document set lands between $76 and $152. The price calculator shows your exact total before you pay, no account needed.
Your translation is handled and signed personally by Ivy, a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, and it comes with the signed Certificate of Accuracy USCIS requires under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3).
Common questions
Will the same translations work at the NVC and the consulate?
Yes, the consular stage asks for the same format: complete translation plus signed certification. See NVC certified translation requirements for the upload details.
Should the certidão be a recent copy?
For many cases, yes: order the segunda via from the cartório first, then translate that exact copy, because the translation carries the issue date of the copy you send.
