Translation
Translation involves converting a source-language text into a target-language text. When translating literature, a translator can use the literary license to either paraphrase or make slight changes to the translated text to bring out the subtleties and flavor of the original text. On the other hand, when translating an official document, there is no scope for this. The translated document has to be a correct and accurate translation of the original document.
Certification of translation
In compliance with the requirements of the US authorities, translators at Certified English translation USCIS will certify that they are fluent in both English and the source language and that they are competent to translate. They will further certify that the translation is complete and accurate.
The translation will be on the company letterhead and will also include a certification of accuracy, signature, and digital bar code.
Certified translation services
People at the certified translation center process both official and legal documents. Among the many translated documents are birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, academic degrees/diplomas, academic transcripts, police clearance certificates, driver’s licenses, and other legal documents.
When is a certified translation required?
If a foreigner wants to immigrate to the United States of America, then he/she has to apply to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The USCIS expects all documents, including birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decree, police clearance certificates, driver’s licenses, etc., to be in English. If these documents are not in English, they need to be translated into English, and the translator has to certify that the translation is correct.
If a foreign student wants to study in the US, he/she must provide all degrees/diplomas and academic transcripts in English. Some employers also require these documents.
If a translation goes to USCIS, it does not need to be notarized. USCIS requires translations to be certified.
