USCIS and US Court Certified Translations
The same certification standards we apply across the United States, delivered to clients in Houston and across Texas.
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 Houston
Houston is an energy city and a hospital city at once, and both produce paperwork that crosses a border. Drilling and service contracts return from West Africa and the Gulf, while the Texas Medical Center generates clinical records for patients arriving from Latin America and Vietnam.
That shapes the language demand. Spanish runs through the file, Vietnamese is strong in southwest Houston, Chinese in Sugar Land, and Urdu, Arabic and Hindi follow the South Asian professional community along the energy corridor.
The certification page names the translator and the date, and it is what a USCIS officer or a Harris County clerk reads first. Printed sets exist for filings that still want paper, quoted before payment and sent by USPS with tracking.

What our clients say
Rated 4.9/5 from 314 verified reviews for USCIS submissions, court filings and credential evaluations.
“The register listed my parents' divorce on a later page, and the translator included it and explained the annotation instead of leaving it out.”
Yuki T.
“Laudatur and eximia were explained rather than translated as grades, and the admissions office could see exactly where I sat in the scale.”
Juha N.
“Needed my Syrian marriage certificate for a spouse visa. The translation included the registrar stamp and was back within 24 hours.”

Certified translation FAQs for Houston
Ten questions clients in Texas ask before ordering a certified translation.

The floor is $54 per document. Beyond 400 words it is $0.12 per word into English and $0.14 per word into another language.
Yes. Southern District of Texas filings keep exhibit labels, stamps and signatures in place, so the English copy matches the original page for page.
