Built for Chinese documents

Who issues Chinese civil documents

Knowing the issuing body matters: it tells us which layout to expect and which registry references must survive into English untouched.

Chinese document terms and how we render them

Terms that must be transcribed rather than translated are marked — inventing an English equivalent for a registry code is a classic cause of RFEs.

ChineseEnglishHandling
出生医学证明Medical Certificate of BirthTranslated; certificate number transcribed
户口簿Household RegisterTranslated; each content page priced separately
公证书Notarial CertificateTranslated; notary office and number transcribed
结婚证 / 离婚证Marriage / Divorce CertificateTranslated

Where Chinese translations usually go wrong

Frequently asked questions

Do you translate hukou (户口簿) booklets?
Yes. Each page with content counts as one page. Most applicants only need the index page plus their own person-page — check your form instructions before ordering every page.
My Chinese document already has a notarial English translation. Do I still need this?
Chinese notarial certificates (公证书) with built-in translations are usually accepted by USCIS as-is. If yours lacks the English section or the officer asked for a certified translation, that is what we provide.
Is this translation accepted by USCIS?
Yes. USCIS requires a complete English translation together with a certification that the translator is competent and the translation is accurate (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)). Every order includes that signed certification on company letterhead, with an order number that can be independently verified on our verification page. If USCIS ever rejects a translation we prepared, we revise it free of charge or refund you in full.
Do I need a notarized translation?
Not for USCIS. USCIS removed the notarization requirement decades ago — a certified translation is exactly what the instructions ask for. Some DMVs, courts and apostille processes do want notarization; if that is your situation, contact us and we will point you to a suitable notarized-translation provider.
How fast will I get my translation?
Typical orders are delivered in under 10 minutes. Handwritten, damaged or low-resolution documents are routed to manual review and delivered within 24 hours — you'll see the status on your order page.
What does it cost?
$19.95 per page, flat. No subscriptions, no accounts, no upsells. You pay with PayPal or card and download a finished PDF: translation, signed certification page, and a copy of your original.
Is my document safe?
Files are encrypted in transit, are never used to train AI models, and are automatically deleted from our servers 30 days after delivery. You can request earlier deletion at any time.
What if something in my document is unreadable?
Industry practice (and USCIS expectation) is to mark unreadable text as [Illegible] rather than guess. Our multi-step verification compares two independent AI readings plus your own confirmation of names and dates, so nothing is silently invented.

How certification works. Every order includes a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy on company letterhead that meets the USCIS requirement (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)) for a complete English translation with a translator certification. Each certificate carries an order number you can verify at any time at certmytranslation.com/verify. USCIS does not require notarization for supporting documents — see our USCIS guide.
