Does an international marriage license need to be translated and notarized for USCIS?

Translated yes, notarized no. 

 

Assuming you’re referring to submitting the I-130, the guide says the following - 

 

"Translations. If you submit a document with information in a foreign language, you must also submit a full English

translation. The translator must sign a certification that the English language translation is complete and accurate, and

that he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English. The certification must also include their

signature, printed name, the signature date, and their contact information."

If it's one of those forms that has translation of boxes in 15 different languages in the bottom of the page - we did not translate that. It was already called international marriage certificate.

I've seen people on VJ reporting USCIS issuing RFE for not providing translation even if one of languages was English. I guess it depends on luck and risk tolerance. I'd translate even that.

 

Technically, English translation on multi language certificates doesn't have certification statement, so I guess technically this can be a cause to issue RFE asking for translation
