Translating Taiwan Household Registration

[islandereden 0]

Can I translate Taiwan Household Registration myself? Or how can I get it translated if I MUST have a certified translator?

Yes you can translate.  That's how I did it.

 

USCIS rules state: "Translations. Any document containing foreign language submitted to USCIS shall be accompanied by a full English language translation which the translator has certified as complete and accurate, and by the translator's certification that he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English."

 

After my own translated English document, I added language like this with my signature:

 

CERTIFICATE OF TRANSLATION

 

I, ______(name)_____, am competent to translate from _(Traditional Chinese)_ into English, and certify that the translation of __(document title)__ is true, complete, and accurate to the best of my abilities

 

_____________________________ Signature of Translator

______________________________ Name of Translator

____________________________ Address of Translator

____________________________Telephone Number of Translator

No issues.  Translated Taiwan birth certificate, household registration.  Maybe some other stuff.  Self-translated, with that "Certificate of Translation" at the end.  USCIS never questioned it.  First application for green card was in 2011. Got permanent residence, then eventually U.S. Citizenship.

 

Visajourney has a page here on translation: https://www.visajourney.com/content/translations/

 

And you can type "translation" into the search box, and read other people's similar experiences.
