When applying for U.S. immigration benefits, such as naturalization, green cards, or other USCIS processes, applicants are often required to submit vital records and civil documents from their home country. These may include birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, educational records, and other official documents.
If you are missing a document, the U.S. Department of State Reciprocity Schedule provides guidance on what records are available for each country and how you can obtain them. Simply choose your country and click on “Jump to Country Documents” to see the requirements.
USCIS Requirements for Translations
USCIS has strict regulations regarding the translation of foreign-language documents. Any document not in English must be accompanied by a certified English translation.
The translator / translation agency must certify:
- That they are competent in both English and the foreign language.
- That the translation is complete and accurate.
- Translation.pk provides a declaration letter to fulfil above requirement.
Copies vs. Originals
- Unless USCIS specifically asks for original documents, applicants can submit clear photocopies of records.
- If an original is submitted when not required, USCIS will keep it as part of the official record.
