Certified Translation of Standard Documents for Immigrants in the U.S.: Why Accuracy and Legitimacy Matter

Moving to the United States is an exciting and often life-changing experience — but it also comes with an enormous amount of paperwork. Whether you’re applying for residency, school admission, or a professional license, your documents must be accurate, complete, and officially translated into English.

That’s where certified translation becomes essential — and where WiTIS Language proudly steps in to help immigrants across the U.S. navigate the process with confidence.

What Is a Certified Translation?

A certified translation is a document that has been translated by a qualified professional who then provides a signed statement — known as a Certificate of Accuracy — confirming that the translation is complete and faithful to the original.

This certification is often required by:

• U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)

• Courts and legal institutions

• Universities and credential evaluation agencies

• Employers and licensing boards

A proper certified translation includes:

• The full translation of the original document (no omissions or summaries)

• The translator’s signature

• A declaration of accuracy

• The date of certification

📄 Common Documents That Require Certified Translation

For immigrants, the following are among the most frequently requested translations:

• Birth Certificates

• Marriage Certificates

• Divorce Decrees

• Police Records or Background Checks

• Diplomas and Academic Transcripts

• Medical Records

• Financial Statements

• Court Judgments

• Passports and IDs

Each of these documents carries legal or official weight, which is why precision and format consistency are so important.

🧩 Why Accuracy and Legitimacy Matter

Even a small error — a wrong date, a misspelled name, or a missing seal — can lead to:

• Application delays

• Request for evidence (RFE)

• Document rejection

That’s why accuracy and legitimacy must always come before speed or price. At WiTIS Language, our translators are trained to handle sensitive and legal documents with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring compliance with USCIS and court standards.
