Translations can be done by anyone that is competent to do so. That includes those that you may pay but it isnt needed. Additionaly there is no requirement nor need to notarize the translations.

Notaries verify signatures not content. As such there would be no need to pay them because there is no reason to verify the signature on the translations.

But did you sign the documents saying that you translated them by yourself?

All you have to do is read and use the link provided by J K. Use the suggested format or create your own. The " certification " is simply a statement that you sign saying you are competent to translate the docs.

Yes, my husband translated his own birth certificate. You just use the certification format from the link I posted above. It is taken directly from the USCIS website(scroll about halfway down on the page): http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextchannel=fe529c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextoid=ff053d146a7ee010VgnVCM1000000ecd190aRCRD
