How it works
Three steps, and the first one gives you the price.
Upload
We read each file for its type, language and word count, and show you the price before we ask for your email.
Pay the price you saw
Documents we could read are charged and started right away. If one needs a person to check it, or you gave us a date to confirm, we hold that amount instead of charging it, and ask before anything goes up.
Receive
A signed PDF and one Certificate of Accuracy per document, with what to do next for where you are filing.
A page is up to 250 words, counted in your document, and you see every count before you pay. When a document needs a person, we hold instead of charging and ask before anything goes up.
What you receive
A signed certificate with every document.
Each document gets its own Certificate of Accuracy, signed by the translator who reviewed it. It states that the translation is complete and accurate, and that the translator is competent to translate from the source language into English — what 8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3) asks for.
This sample leaves the name and signature blank. Yours carries the name and signature of the translator who certifies it.
I, ________________________, hereby certify that I am competent to translate from Portuguese into English, and that the attached translation is a true, complete and accurate translation of the original document described below, to the best of my knowledge and ability.
No content has been added, omitted or altered. Any portion of the original that was illegible is marked [illegible] in the translation.
If it is rejected on our work, we fix it free
Rejected for translation accuracy or certification format? We correct it at no charge.
What the guarantee covers
If USCIS, a university or another U.S. institution rejects our translation for reasons of translation accuracy or certification format, we correct it free of charge. If the corrected version is rejected again, we refund you in full.
What that does not cover: the receiving institution’s own requirements beyond the translation itself, and illegible source documents we flagged before starting.
Save $20
USCIS does not require notarized translations.
The rule that governs this is 8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3), and it asks for one thing: a full English translation, certified by the translator as complete and accurate, with the translator’s certification that they are competent to translate. Notarization is not part of it, and neither is an apostille or an association membership.
Some universities, state agencies and foreign consulates do ask for notarization on their own account.
Questions
What people ask before ordering.
Does this meet the USCIS requirement?
It is built to. 8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3) asks for a full English translation plus the translator’s certification of accuracy, completeness and competence, and that is what ships with every document. USCIS keeps no list of approved translators and requires no particular credential. What no translator can promise you is the decision of the officer reading your file — if a translation of ours is rejected on accuracy or certification format, our correction guarantee covers it.
Do other institutions accept it?
Universities, courts and state agencies each set their own rules, and some ask for things USCIS does not — notarization being the common one. Tell us who is receiving the document and we will tell you what we know before you order. We do not claim universal acceptance.
How fast is it?
We don’t publish a turnaround we haven’t measured. If you have a date, put it in “When do you need it?” and nothing is charged until a person confirms we can make it. Without a date, documents we could read start as soon as you pay.
How do you count pages?
By words, not by sheets of paper. One page is up to 250 words, which is the U.S. market standard, so a 350-word document is billed as two pages. Our system reads each file as you add it and counts the words in it, and you see every count next to its document before you pay. If a count is uncertain, we hold that amount instead of charging it until a person confirms it.
What if my document is handwritten or hard to read?
Handwritten documents get no price on screen: they are marked price to be confirmed and stay out of your total, because a made-up number is worse than no number. A person reads them and prices them before anything is charged for them. If some pages were only hard to read, we price what we could count and hold that amount instead of charging it, and ask you first if it comes out higher.
How does the price compare?
$19.95 a page is $5 under RushTranslate’s list price of $24.95, checked September 2026.
Do I need a printed copy?
We deliver a signed PDF, and you can print it. Whether a printout is enough is up to the office that receives it: for USCIS, the instructions of the form you are filing decide whether you send an original or a copy (8 CFR § 103.2(b)(4)). We do not mail hard copies at the moment.
Is my document safe?
To show you the count before you order, our system reads each file as you add it, and we don’t store it unless you send the order. Files of an order go to private, encrypted storage that only the people working on your order can open, and we never use customer documents to train any model.
