Declaration of translation competence

My wife and I are in the process of doing CR1 and the I-130.

The translations of our marriage certificate do not have the special standard statement by the translator along the lines of, "I certify that I am competent to translate from x to y and I declare that the translation is accurate to the best of my whatever, etc, whatever (paraphraphasing)".

Instead it has a big standardized stamp showing the name of the translation company, their address, phone, email, and a graphic.

Since books seems to saw that translations must have the formal statement word for word, why would they not provide it? What don't I know? This is a professional translator that I feel probably must have helped lots of marriage visa customers. Could they be so sloppy to not provide the declaration in a form that is famously required?

Depending on where you got them translated, it may not be a requirement. All our copies were translated in Tunisia by a certified translator. He stamped our paperwork with his official credentialed stamp and it was fine. We did not have the big statement on there saying he was certified as that is what the stamp is for. Our paperwork went through with zero issues.
