The letters a case is built on

Much of what goes into an immigration or a court file is not issued by any registry. It is written by people who know the applicant: a mother describing what returning would mean for her children, an employer confirming years of work, a pastor or a neighbour vouching for someone's character, a doctor describing a relative's dependence.

These letters carry weight precisely because they are personal, and they arrive in whatever language the writer thinks in. Where they are filed in the United States, they need a complete English translation with a certification, exactly like a birth certificate.

Translated as written, not improved

This is the discipline that matters here. A support letter written by someone with little formal schooling reads differently from one written by a lawyer, and that difference is evidence — an officer weighing whether a relationship is real is reading the voice as much as the content. A translator who smooths the grammar, raises the register and tidies the sentences produces a letter that sounds like every other letter in the file.

We render what was written, at the level it was written, keeping the writer's own words for their own life. Where a phrase is a fixed courtesy rather than a personal statement, it is rendered as the formula it is.

What makes a letter usable

The parts writers treat as decoration are the parts a reader checks:

• Who the writer is, and how they know the applicant
• The date, and how long the relationship has lasted
• Contact details, so the statement can be followed up
• Any letterhead, stamp or seal on an employer or institutional letter
• The signature block, translated rather than summarised

How it works

Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.

A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.

Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.

Certified vs. standard translation

A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.

A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
