What USCIS requires from a translation
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), any document in a foreign language submitted to USCIS must be accompanied by a full English translation together with a certification from the translator attesting that the translation is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate.
You cannot translate your own documents: USCIS expects the certification to come from an impartial third party. An incomplete or improperly certified translation is a common cause of Requests for Evidence, which can delay a case by months.
Every eVerbary certified translation includes a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that satisfies these requirements, and we guarantee acceptance by USCIS.

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.
