Working on I-130 packet to bring over step son.

I'm a little rusty on the rules about translating documents to English (step son's birth certificate). I seem to remember whoever does the translating has to certify the translation is accurate blah blah blah. Is this true? Please advise about translation requirements.

The good news is we have the birth certificate with us in the US, so no need to DHL, etc. But I think translation will be more here. What's the going rate?

Any person who is fluent in both languages can certify the document. It doesn't have to be notarized either.

Here's a sample of the certification:

Translator’s Certification

I [typed name], certify that I am fluent (conversant) in the English and ________ languages, and that the above/attached document is an accurate translation of the document attached entitled ______________________________.
