Translation certificate generator
Every document in another language that you send to USCIS needs a full English translation and a signed statement from the translator. Fill in the details to make that statement, then print it, sign it and attach it to the translation.
What USCIS requires. Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), the translator must certify that the English translation is complete and accurate, and that they are competent to translate from the other language into English. This tool writes a statement covering both points. It does not translate anything, and it does not check the translation. General information, not legal advice.
Name it clearly, for example: “the birth certificate of Maria Lopez, issued in Lima, Peru, 1 page”. Make one statement for each document.
Your certificate

- Translate the whole document into English, including stamps, seals and handwritten notes.
