Translating Marriage Certificate

[Kaskada 1]

Hello,

My marriage certificate is in Spanish. From my understanding, it has to be translated when I submit N400. I am not a certified translator in anyway but I am fluent in Spanish. Would I be able to just translate it myself or does it have to be done by a professional?

Hello it has to be translated from a certified professional. There is a stamp they put it on it to prove it is certified.

All documents not written in English, or in the official language of the country in which you are applying for a visa, must be accompanied by certified translations. The translation must include a statement signed by the translator stating that the:

• Translation is accurate, and
• Translator is competent to translate

The format I copied below is from USCIS. It has been used many times with zero problem. You can see that the actual " certification " is no more than the statement the translator signs as you see.

Anyone competent in both languages can do the translation.

Certification by Translator

This is simply wrong in most countries & is certainly wrong here in the USA when it comes to USCIS. Again its their format I copied.

Ning is correct you can translate it yourself and sign it with the statement posted above. It does not have to be professionally done if you are fluent in the language you are translating to and from..

You can do it yourself on a word document, as mentioned above, at the bottom you will need to state that you are fluent in both english and spanish.

Wrong, it does not have to be done by a professional. Anyone who is fluent in both languages can do it as long as they submit a statement saying so.

Does it have to be notarized?

Hello,

No. Notaries verify signatures not content of documents.
