A document verifying the accuracy and completeness of a translated text intended for submission to United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is frequently required. This certification assures USCIS that the translated document is an accurate representation of the original. It typically includes a statement from the translator attesting to their competence and the accuracy of the translation, their signature, and date. It may also include the translator’s contact information.
This type of attestation is crucial for USCIS to fairly and efficiently process applications and petitions. By providing a verified translation, applicants reduce the risk of delays or denials due to discrepancies or inaccuracies in the provided documentation. Historically, the requirement for such confirmations has evolved to standardize the translation process and ensure a higher level of confidence in the submitted materials. The benefit of the attestation assures the officer reviewing that application has an accurate and reliable translation to work with.
