ARABIC DOCUMENT TRANSLATION
Arabic Certified Translation for USCIS: Documents and Certification
For a USCIS filing, an Arabic document needs a complete English translation and the translator’s certification. Start with the document and filing instructions so the translation and certification can be reviewed before the quote is agreed.
Request a translation quoteWhat the regulation requires
8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires a full English translation of a foreign-language document, certified by the translator as complete and accurate, together with certification that the translator is competent to translate from the foreign language into English. This provision does not itself require ATA membership or notarization. It is not an accreditation programme for translation companies.
Preparing Arabic documents for a complete translation
The English translation must represent the source rather than omit difficult content or silently amend a source fact. Unreadable material is clarified or identified appropriately; it is not guessed.
- Send every relevant page, reverse side, stamp, signature and attachment.
- Include handwritten additions and marginal notes in a readable scan.
- Provide the name spelling in the applicant’s passport and disclose inconsistencies.
- Send the filing instructions and explain any specific format or certification request.
What to confirm in the certification
Confirm that the agreed declaration covers both completeness and accuracy and competence for the Arabic-to-English language pair. The sample certification linked from our main page shows those elements as an illustrative template. Actual issued wording, signatory details and document references must be confirmed in your quote. A QR issuance reference is an additional studio check, not a replacement for the translator’s declaration.
Document translation and the filing decision
Birth and marriage certificates, civil records and academic documents can each carry details that need careful source review. Translation prepares the language version; it does not establish the legal sufficiency of evidence, determine eligibility or guarantee approval. Follow the current application checklist and any instructions specific to your case.
Getting a quote and agreeing delivery
Choose Arabic as the source and English as the target in our main quote form. Identify USCIS as the receiving organisation, include the documents and instructions, and add your deadline. Published starting rates are $15 USD per page up to 250 words for standard translation and $25 for urgent translation. Preferred turnaround is 24 or 12 hours respectively after review and agreement. The quote confirms the final scope, certification, price and schedule before work begins.
Questions about this request
Does USCIS require a government-certified translation company?
The cited regulation requires certification by the translator of a complete and accurate English translation and competence to translate. It does not define a USCIS accreditation for translation companies.
Must my USCIS translation be notarized?
Notarization is not specified in 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Check the instructions for your specific filing and any separate recipient before ordering additional formalities.
Does a studio stamp alone meet the requirement?
A stamp alone does not state completeness, accuracy or competence. Confirm the actual signed certification wording and the complete translated document in the agreed package.
