What is Certified Translation?
Certified translations are essential for official purposes where accuracy and completeness are essential. These translations are typically required for submission to U.S. Immigration (USCIS), universities, courts, and various local, state, and federal government agencies. Our certified translation services ensure that your documents meet all necessary standards.
Key Features of Our Certified Translation Services
Literal Translation
Certified translations must be a word-for-word translation of all visible text. Translators are not allowed to add or remove text or interpret the meaning. For straightforward documents like birth certificates, this requirement is usually straightforward. Our certified document translation services adhere strictly to this rule.
Certification of Accuracy
The certification must confirm that the translation was done by a qualified translator fluent in both languages involved. We only use professional human translators who meet this requirement. An authorized signer certifies this accuracy on the document, and we offer free revisions to ensure the translation is perfect.
Preparation
To ensure wide acceptance, our certified translation company prepares your certified translation packet with attention to detail. All certified translations are provided on our company letterhead, including order and page numbers on each page, along with our contact information.
Presentation and Notarization
Our certification states that the translator has no personal or other relation to the document owner. When needed, we can also have the certification notarized, providing you with original copies featuring wet ink signatures. We offer certified translation services online to make the process even more convenient.
Wide Acceptance
We go the extra mile to ensure that our certified translations meet the stringent requirements of various official bodies. This attention to detail and commitment to quality means that our translations are widely accepted by USCIS, educational institutions, legal entities, and government agencies.

What is an Official Translation?
An official translation is a translation of a document, such as a birth certificate, marriage license, or academic transcript, accompanied by a certification, sworn statement, or notarization from a professional translator or a recognized agency. These translations are required when submitting documents issued in a foreign language to government authorities, academic institutions, legal bodies, or other official organizations.
It’s important to understand the distinctions between different types of official translations, including certified, sworn, notarized, and legalized translations, as they serve different purposes and have specific requirements depending on the country and type of application.

Certified Translation
A certified translation is one of the most commonly required translations for immigration, academic, and legal applications. It includes:
A word-for-word translation of the original document.
A signed certification from the translator or translation agency attesting to the accuracy and completeness of the translation.
Additional information such as the translator’s qualifications and contact details.
Our certified translations are performed on Rush Transaltions letterhead, accompanied by a Statement of Accuracy, our company stamp, signature, and all necessary contact information. Certified translations are required for official applications in countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Ireland, particularly for use in USCIS, universities, and government agencies.
Sworn Translation
A sworn translation is required in some countries, such as France, Spain, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands, and must be provided by a sworn translator who has been officially appointed by a court or government authority in that country.
Sworn translators must pass exams and are authorized to produce translations that are legally recognized within their jurisdiction. When your application requires a sworn translation, we partner with sworn translators to ensure that your translation is fully compliant with the legal standards of the country you are submitting to.
Notarized Translation
A notarized translation involves having a certified translation presented to a Notary Public, who verifies the identity of the translator and certifies the translation process. While the Notary does not verify the content of the translation itself, their role is to confirm the authenticity of the translator’s signature.
We offers notarized translations for documents that need to be submitted to legal bodies, including courts, embassies, and foreign institutions. Notarized translations are often required for legal processes.
Legalized Translations (Apostille)
A legalized translation, also referred to as an apostille translation, involves obtaining a government ministry’s approval to make a document admissible in foreign countries that are part of the Hague Convention. This process results in an Apostille, which is a certificate confirming that the translation is legally recognized abroad.
For clients needing translations to be used in Hague Convention countries, Rush Translations can provide legalized translations by either working with a Sworn Translator or by having a certified translation notarized and subsequently legalized by a government authority (e.g., the U.S. Department of State or UK Foreign Office).

- Certified Translations: Most commonly required for USCIS, universities, immigration applications, and general legal processes.
- Sworn Translations: Required in certain countries for official purposes (e.g., France, Germany, Spain).
- Notarized Translations: Required by courts, embassies, or legal authorities in certain legal procedures.

Why Accuracy Matters
In legal, immigration, and academic processes, even the smallest error in a translation can result in significant delays, rejections, or legal complications. We understand the importance of precision. Our certified translators are not only experts in their respective languages, but they also have deep knowledge of the specific terminologies and formalities required for different types of documents. Accuracy is especially crucial for:
Immigration Applications
A single incorrect date or mistranslated term in a birth or marriage certificate can result in an immigration application being delayed or rejected.
Legal Cases
Inaccurate translations in legal contracts or court documents can lead to misunderstandings, disputes, or loss of a case.
Academic Applications
Misinterpretations in transcripts or diplomas can cause universities to question the authenticity of your qualifications.
