Certified Translations
A certified translation includes a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy — required by USCIS, courts, and most government agencies. Our certified translations include the complete translation, signed certificate, translator qualifications statement, and format matching the original document structure.
USCIS requires that any foreign-language document submitted with an immigration application be accompanied by a full English translation with a certification stating the translator is competent to translate and that the translation is complete and accurate.
Documents We Translate
- Immigration: Birth/marriage/divorce/death certificates, passports, police clearances, diplomas, transcripts, employment letters, bank statements
- Legal: Contracts, powers of attorney, affidavits, court orders, corporate documents
- Business: Financial statements, correspondence, technical documentation
How the Process Works
Send or bring the original document (or a clear scan). We review the document, confirm the language pair and page count, and provide a quote before starting. The translation is prepared to match the format and structure of the original, then paired with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy.
What Makes a Translation Accepted by USCIS
USCIS does not require a specific credentialing body for translators, but does require that the translation be complete, accurate, and accompanied by a signed certification from the translator. The certification must state the translator's name, confirm their competence in both languages, and attest that the translation is true and accurate. We include all of these elements with every certified translation. Documents submitted without a proper certification are routinely rejected or returned by USCIS adjudicators.
Notarization, Apostille & International Use of Translations
Some receiving authorities require the translator’s certification to be notarized. A Florida Notary Public cannot notarize their own signature, so when Elton Kasma signs the translator certification, a separate Florida Notary Public completes that notarization.
If the notarized translation certification must be used in another Contracting Party to the HCCH 1961 Apostille Convention, we can coordinate an Apostille through the Florida Secretary of State when the document is eligible. An Apostille authenticates the origin of the notarized public document; it does not certify that the translation itself is accurate or approve the document’s contents.
Requirements vary by destination and receiving authority. Some authorities require authentication of the source document, the translation certification, or both. For destinations outside the Convention, additional authentication or embassy/consular legalization may be required.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you translate languages other than Albanian, Spanish, and Italian? For other languages, we work with a network of professional translators. We coordinate the translation, prepare the certification, and deliver the final package. Contact us with your language pair and document type for a quote.
Is a notarized translation different from a certified translation? Yes. A certified translation includes the translator’s signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. If an agency or court also requires notarization of that signature, we can coordinate a separate Florida Notary Public. The translator does not notarize their own certification signature; notarization verifies the signature, not the accuracy of the translation.
Can I send a photo of the document instead of the original? Yes, as long as all text, stamps, seals, and handwritten entries are legible. A clear scan or high-resolution photo is usually sufficient for translation purposes.
