Asylum Documents Translation services
Your story, told exactly

Your story has to come through exactly, in a language the officer reads

An asylum claim rests on documents: your personal statement, affidavits, a birth certificate, the records that show what you lived through. When those documents are in another language, the officer reviewing your case needs accurate, properly formatted certified translations to consider them. A small error or an omitted line is not a minor problem here. It can delay your case or weaken the account you are asking them to believe.

The hard part is that a faithful asylum translation takes more than fluency. It takes someone who understands the procedural standard immigration authorities apply and the cultural and contextual meaning behind your words, so nothing is flattened, softened, or lost. Get that wrong and the record no longer reads as your account. Get it right and your story stands on its own.

This is exactly what certified asylum document translation services are for. ABC Translations has guided many asylum seekers through this step. Native-speaking translators work in 120+ languages and carry the contextual understanding that keeps your meaning intact. Before it ever reaches you, a second linguist checks every line for precision and anything missing, so the document you submit reads cleanly and stays true to the original.

Thousands of asylum filings have passed through our hands, and the certified results are accepted by immigration officers, attorneys, and the agencies that review them. The rate is $24.10 per page with 48-hour delivery and unlimited revisions, whether you are sending a single personal statement or an entire stack of supporting records.

Upload your asylum documents, choose your language, and get certified translations you and your representative can rely on. Get my certified asylum translation.

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Find clear answers to the questions people most often ask about working with us. See how the workflow runs, what it costs, how long it takes, where documents are accepted, which notarization choices exist, and the way finished files reach you.

Will USCIS and the immigration courts accept your asylum document translations?

Yes. Our certified asylum translations meet USCIS requirements and have been accepted by asylum offices, immigration courts, and the Board of Immigration Appeals. Each comes with the required Certificate of Accuracy and the translator's signed statement of competence, double-checked for precision before it ships.

We have handled thousands of asylum documents, with certified results that immigration officers, attorneys, and reviewing agencies accept.

Which asylum documents need certified translation?

Common ones include your personal statement and declarations, birth certificates and identity documents, police and arrest records, medical records documenting harm, country condition reports or news articles, evidence of political or religious persecution, and witness statements and affidavits. Any evidence not originally in English needs a certified translation for your application.

Can you translate my personal statement without changing what I said?

Yes, and this is the heart of an asylum translation. We translate your personal statement word for word, without adding, omitting, or softening anything, so the exact meaning, emotional weight, and credibility of your testimony reach the officer just as you wrote them. Our translators understand how much rides on preserving your account precisely.

What if my asylum documents are in a rare language or regional dialect?

We work in 120+ languages, including many rarer languages and regional dialects from countries that commonly produce asylum seekers. If your documents are in a less common language, request a quote with the language and document details and we will confirm availability and a timeline so your case stays on track.

How do you protect the sensitive information in my asylum case?

Asylum documents hold sensitive details about persecution, personal history, and safety. Every translator signs a strict non-disclosure agreement, and we use secure encrypted systems for transfer and storage. Your evidence is handled in complete confidence throughout, protecting your privacy and your safety.

How fast can you translate asylum documents, and what does it cost?

Most asylum documents are delivered within 48 hours, with a rush same-day option for urgent filing deadlines, since missing a deadline can mean losing the chance to apply. Translation is $24.10 per page, so a typical set of several pages is straightforward to budget, and unlimited revisions are included.

What if a translation error could hurt my asylum claim?

Errors can create inconsistencies that undercut credibility, which is exactly why we use translators experienced with asylum documents who understand the stakes. A quality review catches mistakes before delivery, so your translated evidence supports your claim for protection rather than weakening it.
