For USCIS purposes the translations must be certified, so I recommend you use a service.

For immigration purposes it must only be "attested".   Self translation is possible if the translator is fluent in both languages

Well, if OP is asking for translation help she must not be fluent. Legal documents in spanish have several terms that are very complicated to translate. I encountered the same problem with my birth certificates.

True,  but attestation is quite a bit different than certified

Used a service called Vanan Services to translate and certify Spanish Birth certificate for a relative. It was $20.

Yes, but it will probably become very obvious at interview that OP is not fluent enough in English, making self-attestation rather risky.

You glossed over the word IF.

 

Also, It was more a reply to the other poster who said that translation needs to be certified when the translation standard is attestation. 

[SusieQQQ 11,587]

In addition, there must be a certification from the translator indicating that the translation is complete and accurate and attesting to his or her competence as a translator.

why would anyone want to effectively lie to USCIS to save $20? Is it really worth it?

Thank you for your replies, It is not for Immigration purposes.  It's for a different purpose.

Does anyone know how to translate this paragraph?
