A file that holds up

When your safety depends on the file, the translation cannot be the weak link

An asylum claim carries more weight than almost any other application, and it rests on documents that prove what you lived through. For every document written in another language, USCIS and the immigration courts call for a certified English translation alongside it, and that covers birth and marriage certificates, affidavits, records of police or arrest history, and reports from doctors or psychologists. A translation that is incomplete or not certified can hold up a case where the stakes could not be higher.

The requirement exists so a judge or officer can read your evidence exactly as it stands, with nothing lost or softened. That is why every translation must be complete, rendered word for word, and in line with USCIS and court standards.

This is exactly what asylum application certified translation services are for. ABC Translations delivers exactly that. A signed statement vouching for the accuracy of the work and the competence of the translator accompanies each translation, together with revisions you can request without limit and a 48-hour turnaround on most documents, so your evidence reads clearly and correctly.

I purchased a translation on Friday and expected a 24-hour turnaround but also ordered a notary not knowing it wasn't part of the estimated time. Unsurprisingly I needed it immediately. I emailed support and within a few hours, it was completely signed and notarized! Hats off to y'all!

You will learn when certified work is needed, what materials must be translated, who is qualified to do it, how long it takes, how revisions work, and the acceptance guarantee we stand behind.

What is a certified translation?

A certified translation is a translated document that comes with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. The certificate includes the translator's statement that the translation is complete and accurate, along with their credentials and contact information.

USCIS and other U.S. government agencies require certified translations for all foreign-language documents submitted as evidence.

Are your translators qualified for this type of work?

Yes. All our translators working on asylum documents are professional linguists fluent in both the source language and English. They understand the terminology, formatting, and regulatory standards asylum translations require, which keeps the results accurate and compliant.

How do I submit my documents for translation?

Upload clear photos or scans of your documents through our secure online order form. We accept JPG, PNG, and PDF files. Once you submit your order, our translators begin right away and deliver within the stated turnaround time.

Why do asylum documents need certified translation?

Every foreign-language document has to reach USCIS and the immigration courts paired with a certified English translation, which lets officers and judges weigh your evidence correctly. Certification means a signed statement that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent.

Which asylum documents should I have translated?

Frequently requested items range from birth and marriage certificates to affidavits, records of police or arrest history, and reports from doctors or psychologists. If you have another supporting document, send it and we will confirm we can certify it.

Will the translation be accepted by USCIS and the immigration court?

Yes. Meeting the standards of USCIS and the immigration courts, our translations also carry a full acceptance promise on any asylum filing. If a change is ever needed, we revise it at no extra cost until it is accepted.

How fast can I get my asylum documents back?

Most documents are delivered within 48 hours at $24.10 per page, with unlimited revisions included and an expedited option when your deadline is tight.

Can you translate documents with official stamps and seals?

Yes. We translate all asylum documents, including those with official government stamps, seals, and handwritten entries. Our translators read various document formats and translate all visible text accurately, so your certified translation is complete and acceptable to USCIS and other agencies.

What if my documents have handwritten text?

We regularly translate asylum documents with handwritten entries. Our translators read various handwriting styles and accurately interpret and translate handwritten text, official stamps, and marginal notes, so your certified translation is complete.
