What You Receive With Every Certified Translation
Every certified translation from Day Translations is delivered as a complete package. The document you receive is ready to submit directly to the institution requesting it, with no additional steps required on your part.
Signed Certificate of Accuracy on Official Letterhead
Every certified translation includes a formal signed statement confirming that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate from the source language. The statement includes the translator's full name, credentials, and contact information as required by 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) for USCIS submissions. It is issued on Day Translations official letterhead, displaying our ATA membership and corporate contact details.
Mirror-Image Formatting: Tables, Seals, and Borders Preserved
We replicate the layout of your original document including tables, seals, borders, and field structure. USCIS officers and university registrars verify a translation by comparing it to the original. When the translated document mirrors the structure of the original, that verification is straightforward and delays are less likely. We apply this formatting standard to every certified translation as a default.
Translator Credentials and Contact Information Included
The certification statement includes the full name, qualifications, and contact information of the translator who completed your translation. This is a mandatory component of a compliant certified translation. Institutions retain this information in case they need to verify the translator's credentials.
Secure, Uneditable PDF Ready for Submission
Your completed certified translation is delivered as a secure, uneditable PDF. Government agencies and courts require that certified translations cannot be altered after certification. Hard copy delivery by USPS or FedEx worldwide is available as an add-on if your institution requires a physical document.
Unlike other agencies that deliver plain text, our certified translations preserve the original layout and formatting of your document.
Birth Certificate (Spanish to English)
Academic Transcript (French to English)

Certified Translation for Every Document Type
The type of document determines the certification standard that applies. Our translators are matched to your document type, not assigned generically. A birth certificate from Mexico goes to a translator experienced with Mexican civil registry formats. A diploma from France goes to a translator who understands the French academic credential system.
Marriage Certificate Translation
Marriage certificates are required for spousal visa applications, name change filings, and international marriage recognition. Our translators work with civil registry documents from all countries and deliver translations accepted by USCIS, consulates, and state agencies.
Divorce Decree Translation
Divorce decrees are required for remarriage applications, immigration filings, and legal proceedings outside the country where the divorce was granted. Court documents require legal subject-matter expertise alongside language fluency.
Why Our Certified Translations Are Accepted Without Issue
Your documents define your future. Whether it's a visa application or a court case, we combine strict security with human expertise to ensure you never face a rejection.

Accepted by USCIS, Courts, Universities & Government Agencies
A certified translation is only as useful as the institution accepting it. Before placing an order, you need to know that the translation you receive will meet the standard of the institution you are submitting to.
USCIS and U.S. Immigration Authorities
Every Day Translations certified translation meets the requirements of 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). This regulation requires a completed translation accompanied by a certification signed by a competent translator. Our USCIS certified translation meets this standard exactly. In 19 years, not one of our certified translations has been rejected.
U.S. Federal and State Courts
Court proceedings that involve foreign-language documents require certified translations for those documents to be entered as evidence or used in proceedings. Our legal translation services are accepted by U.S. federal and state courts and meet the standard required for court admissibility.
Universities and Academic Institutions
Academic institutions in the United States and internationally require certified translations of transcripts, diplomas, and academic records for admissions, transfer credit evaluation, and professional licensing. Our translations are accepted by university admissions offices and NACES-member credential evaluation organizations.
Foreign Consulates and Embassies
Visa applications submitted to foreign consulates and embassies require certified translations of supporting documents. Our experience with consular document standards across 500+ language pairs ensures your submission meets the requirements of the specific consulate you are working with.
Medical Licensing Boards and Professional Credentialing Bodies
Medical graduates applying for ECFMG certification, pharmacists seeking state licensure, and other internationally educated professionals require certified translations of their credentials. Our medical and professional credential translators understand the terminology and formatting standards these boards require.
How Certified Translation Works

Native Translator Matched to Your Document Type
Your order is assigned to a native-speaking translator with documented experience in your specific document type and country of origin. A birth certificate from Mexico goes to a translator experienced with Mexican civil registry formats. A diploma from France goes to a translator who understands the French academic credential system. This matching is the reason our translations are accepted without issue.
Quality Review and Certified Delivery Within 24 Hours
Your completed translation is reviewed by a second qualified linguist as required by our ISO 17100 certified quality process. The signed certificate of accuracy is prepared and attached. The complete package is delivered to your inbox as a secure PDF within 24 hours for standard orders.
Why Clients Choose Day Translations for Certified Translation
ISO 17100 Certified: Independent Quality Review on Every Order
ISO 17100 requires two steps on every translation project: completion by a qualified translator, followed by independent review by a second qualified linguist. This is not a premium add-on at Day Translations. It is the standard process applied to every certified translation we deliver. Most translation services apply one review pass. We apply two. See our certifications and trust center.

Frequently Asked Questions About Certified Translation Services
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation of a document accompanied by a signed Certificate of Accuracy. The certificate is a formal statement from the translator confirming that the translation is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate from the source language. It must include the translator's full name, credentials, and contact information. A certified translation is required when submitting documents to USCIS, U.S. courts, universities, government agencies, and foreign consulates.
Yes. Day Translations certified translations meet the requirements of 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), the federal regulation governing document submission to USCIS. Every certified translation includes a complete word-for-word translation, a signed certificate of accuracy, and the translator's full name, credentials, and contact information. In 19 years, not one of our certified translations has been rejected by USCIS. If USCIS were to raise a question about a translation we delivered, we revise it at no charge.
A certified translation includes a signed certificate of accuracy from the translator. This is sufficient for USCIS, most courts, universities, and government agencies. A notarized translation goes one step further: a notary public verifies the identity of the person signing the certificate, adding an additional layer of authentication. USCIS does not require notarization for certified translations under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), but some courts, state agencies, and foreign embassies do. If you are unsure which your institution requires, contact us and we will clarify before you order.
Certified translation starts at $29 per page, where one page is defined as up to 250 words. Most civil documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, and diplomas are one to two pages. The exact price for your document is confirmed before payment is taken. Available add-ons include expedited processing (35% rush fee), notarization ($19.99), hard copy delivery (from $14.99), proofreading ($0.05 per word), and apostille authentication ($105). There are no hidden fees on any order.
Most certified translations for standard one to three page documents are delivered within 24 hours. Turnaround time depends on the word count and language pair.

Day Translations operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Yes. All files are transmitted using SSL encryption. Our information security management is independently certified to ISO 27001:2022.
