Can I translate my marriage certificate using microsoft word and let some one notarize? Or can I used the one that my wife already notarize in vietnam. Will USCIS take marriage cert notarize by other country? Any advice would be great. thanks

It doesn't have to be notarized. The translated copy needs to be signed by the translator, along with a statement that they are fluent in both languages and competent to provide an accurate translation. USCIS will accept the translated document as long as it contains the signature and statement of the translator. You could translate it yourself, or use the translated document from VN. It's your choice.

BTW, lots of people translate their own documents, and I've never heard of it being a problem.

I disagreed with that. You need a translator to sign, and also need to be NOTARIZED. Better to be SAFE than sorry. mine 2 cents.
