What is the difference between a certified translation vs. standard translation?

This is a common question we receive from our clients. A certified translation is used typically for legal purposes, such as an immigration matter or a legal matter. This type of professionally prepared translation is different than a standard translation or an extract of a translation. Most countries (including U.S. immigration — USCIS) will require, at a minimum, that a translation be completed by a certified translator competent in both languages.

Document translation requirements

We have a few minimal requirements in order to proceed with the translation of a document.

• The document must be legible. In order for us to accurately translate most documents, we require a legible scan or photo of the document. In the case of certified translations, the translator must be able to view the entire document legibly in order to sign off on the accuracy.
• For Certified Translations: The document must not be modified. Edits, alterations, and signs of tampering are not permitted for the translations we produce, so we may request an alternative or original form of a document.
