USCIS and US Court Certified Translations
The same certification standards we apply across the United States, delivered to clients in Boston and across Massachusetts.
USCIS & Immigration Certification
Used for green card, visa, citizenship and family applications where a foreign-language document has to be filed in English. Each certified translation carries a statement signed by the translator who produced it, which is what a USCIS officer reads.
- The translator's full name, signature and the date of the translation.
- A statement that the translation is complete and accurate, with our company details.
- Every page, including stamps, seals and any reverse side, with nothing summarized.
Court-Ready Filings
For state and federal filings, depositions, judgments and exhibits where a foreign-language document is part of the record. Every court sets its own rule on the translator's declaration, so tell us the court and we prepare the wording it expects.
- Translator declaration: in the form your court requires, signed and dated as a separate page.
- Clause, paragraph and exhibit references kept to match the bundle index.
- The source pages supplied alongside, so the two versions can be compared in the filing.

Certified translations in Boston
Boston runs on institutions that read documents closely: two teaching hospital networks, a dense cluster of universities, and a federal court where immigration and commercial matters sit side by side. Certification is the point where a foreign record becomes usable in that system.
The languages follow immigration waves rather than one dominant group: Portuguese in Somerville, Everett and Framingham, Cape Verdean Creole in Dorchester and Brockton, Haitian Creole in Mattapan, Vietnamese in Fields Corner, Chinese across Quincy.
What the translator certifies is the accuracy of the translation and the identity of the person who produced it. That signed, dated statement travels with the pages it describes, which is what a credentialing office relies on.
