Translator needed

Hello,  in bringing my mother as a resident to USA from Ecuador,  and I'm in need of a translator for her documents.  Any recommendations? Thanks

Anyone who is fluent in both languages can translate.  Just attach a statement that the translation is accurate.

I would recommend that you do an online search for Immigration Translation.

I have personally used Rush Translate and most recently Kings of Translation.

Why not translate one's own documents, if fluent?

I guess that you can but I personally would rather leave that to the experts.

If it were something that needed to be done very often, then I would try to do it myself but this is a one time thing. Paying $25 to $50 is miniscule when you compare it to the application fees.

For me personally - 

I like to use a translator in my local community.  I like it better than online.  I Zelle'd the money to her but once or twice we met up for coffee - where she handed me the notarized translations and I paid her there.  After time it became more of a friendship with her, her husband, and her little daughter.  I like to be able to trust people.  This was how I went about it.  Now whenever I might need a translation I don't have to worry about it and I know she's got my back.

 

Or as someone else pointed out - you or someone can use the form provided.  For me (personally) l prefer to say at the end something like this:

 

I, /     /, herewith certify that I am fluent (conversant) in the English and xxxxxx languages, and that the above document is a true and accurate translation of the document attached.

I am competent to translate from xxxxxx to English, and from English to xxxxxx.

It's overkill, but I like overkill.  Good luck with your choice.

We used https://immitranslate.com to translate all of our Dominican birth certificates from Spanish to English. They have fast response times and certify their documents, which are accepted by USCIS.

The four birth certificates translated for USCIS, never caused an RFE. The Immitranslate.com documents are very accurate, professional in appearance, and high quality.

If you are fluent in Spanish, as someone earlier suggested, save the $ and do them yourself. I translated my husband's birth certificate myself for his green card application. We had zero questions or issues with it.
