Certified translations of court orders, judgments, legal filings, and police records for use in U.S. courts, USCIS immigration cases, and submissions to foreign legal authorities.
A certified court document translation is required any time a foreign language legal document must be submitted to a U.S. court, government agency, or foreign authority.
When foreign court documents are submitted as evidence or supporting documentation in U.S. court proceedings, a certified English translation must accompany each document.
USCIS requires certified translations of court documents submitted with immigration applications. This includes custody orders, criminal records, name change orders, and any court-issued document relevant to your case.
International custody disputes require translated court orders, custody agreements, and parental rights documents so both jurisdictions can understand and enforce the existing arrangements.
Background check results, police records, and criminal court documents from other countries often need certified English translations for employment, immigration, or legal proceedings in the United States.
When contracts, agreements, or related legal correspondence are in a foreign language and relevant to a U.S. legal matter, certified translations are required for court submission.
To enforce a foreign court judgment in the United States, the entire judgment must be translated and certified so the U.S. court can review and recognize it under applicable law.
When you order a certified court document translation from us, the final deliverable includes everything required for acceptance by U.S. courts, USCIS, and foreign authorities.
Note on notarization: Federal courts and USCIS accept certified translations without notarization. Some state courts may require notarized translations depending on the judge or jurisdiction. Check with your attorney or the court clerk about specific requirements. We also offer notarization as an add-on.
If your documents are going to another country, you may need an apostille before the translation. We handle FBI background check and naturalization certificate apostilles with the fastest turnaround in the country.

Not necessarily. In most cases, you only need to translate the specific documents requested by the court, attorney, or agency. This might be a single order, judgment, or filing rather than the entire case file. Translating only the required pages keeps costs down. Confirm with the requesting party exactly which documents need translation.
