What USCIS Requires for Certified Translations
Under federal regulation 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), any foreign-language document submitted to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services must include a full English translation accompanied by a Certificate of Accuracy. This certificate must contain the translator's signed statement affirming competence in both the source language and English, along with an attestation that the translation is complete and accurate. Partial translations, summaries, or machine-translated documents will be rejected, often resulting in a Request for Evidence (RFE) that can delay your case by months. At TranslationAgencyUSA, every translation we produce meets these requirements precisely. Our Certificate of Accuracy includes the translator's full name, signature, date, and a sworn competency statement — formatted exactly as USCIS field offices expect. We are an ATA member, ISO 17100 compliant, and BBB A+ rated, giving your application the strongest possible foundation.

How to Handle a USCIS Request for Evidence (RFE)
If you receive an RFE related to document translations, time is critical. USCIS typically allows 30 to 87 days to respond, and a poorly handled RFE can lead to case denial. Common translation-related RFEs include missing Certificate of Accuracy statements, incomplete translations that omit stamps or seals, or translations that lack the translator's qualification statement. TranslationAgencyUSA provides priority RFE response service. Upload your RFE notice and the documents in question, and we will produce compliant certified translations on an expedited basis. If a previous translator's work was rejected, we will retranslate from scratch and include a new Certificate of Accuracy that addresses the specific deficiency cited in the RFE.
- Priority handling for RFE responses — same-day turnaround available
- We review the RFE notice to identify exactly what USCIS requires
- Complete retranslation with new Certificate of Accuracy if prior work was rejected
- Guidance on proper document formatting to prevent future RFEs
USCIS Interview Interpreter Policy: What Changed in 2025
On September 28, 2025, USCIS ended its long-standing practice of providing interpreters at most field office interviews. Applicants are now responsible for bringing their own qualified interpreter to interviews for forms including the I-485, I-751, and N-400 (for applicants who qualify for language exemptions). This policy change makes it more important than ever to submit properly translated documents with your application. When your supporting documents are accurately translated, the adjudicator can review your case efficiently, reducing the likelihood of follow-up interviews or additional evidence requests. TranslationAgencyUSA ensures every translation is thorough enough to speak for itself on the page, minimizing the need for verbal clarification during your interview.
Frequently Asked Questions
As of September 2025, USCIS no longer provides interpreters at most field office interviews. You must bring your own qualified interpreter if you need language assistance. However, for document translations submitted with your application, USCIS does not require the translator to hold a specific credential — they must simply certify competence in both languages and provide a signed Certificate of Accuracy. Using a professional translation service like TranslationAgencyUSA ensures your documents meet all requirements and reduces the risk of delays.
No. USCIS does not allow applicants to translate their own documents. A third party who is fluent in both English and the source language must perform the translation and sign a Certificate of Accuracy. While the translator does not need a formal certification, using a professional service ensures accuracy and compliance with 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requirements. Self-translated documents will be rejected, potentially triggering an RFE that delays your case.
At TranslationAgencyUSA, certified translations start at $24.95 per page with 24-hour delivery. Expedited same-day service is $39.95 per page, and 2-hour rush delivery is $59.95 per page. Notarization is available for an additional $24.99. Volume discounts of 10-20% apply for orders of 10 or more pages. Every order includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy and our 100% USCIS acceptance guarantee.
USCIS does not generally require notarized translations. A signed Certificate of Accuracy from the translator is sufficient under federal regulations. However, some immigration attorneys recommend notarization as an extra layer of authentication, and certain field offices or judges may prefer it. TranslationAgencyUSA offers notarization for $24.99 per document if your attorney advises it.
A compliant USCIS certified translation includes the full English translation of the source document followed by a Certificate of Accuracy. The certificate states: the translator's full name, a declaration of fluency in both languages, a statement that the translation is complete and accurate, the translator's signature, date, and contact address. TranslationAgencyUSA formats every certificate exactly as USCIS field offices expect.
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), any foreign-language document submitted to USCIS must be accompanied by a full English translation. The translator must certify the translation as complete and accurate and must certify their competence to translate from the foreign language into English. The certification must include the translator's name, signature, address, and date. TranslationAgencyUSA ensures every translation we deliver meets these exact regulatory requirements.
USCIS does not maintain a list of approved translators or require specific accreditation. Any competent bilingual individual can translate documents, provided they sign the required Certificate of Accuracy. However, using a professional translation agency significantly reduces the risk of errors or rejections. TranslationAgencyUSA serves clients nationwide with 120+ languages, 500+ professional translators, and a 100% USCIS acceptance rate — no matter which field office handles your case.
If USCIS rejects a translation, they issue a Request for Evidence (RFE) specifying the deficiency. Common reasons include missing Certificate of Accuracy, incomplete translation, or lack of a translator competency statement. You typically have 30-87 days to respond. TranslationAgencyUSA offers priority RFE response service with same-day turnaround. If you used our service and a translation is ever rejected, we retranslate and recertify at no additional cost under our 100% acceptance guarantee.
