How it works
1. Upload
A clear phone photo or scan of every page, front and back. Your files go to private storage, never a public link.
2. Pay
Card payment through Stripe. We confirm the page count before we start; if it's different, we tell you first.
3. We translate and check
We draft the translation in the same layout, check every name, date and number against your original, and the translator reviews every line before signing.
4. You get the PDF
The translation plus the signed certificate, ready to upload with your USCIS filing or print and send with a paper filing.
What the certificate says
USCIS rule 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) asks for a full English translation that the translator certifies as complete and accurate, plus the translator's statement that they are competent to translate from the foreign language into English. Our certificate says exactly that:
I, Brandon Scutt, certify that I am competent to translate from Spanish into English, and that the attached English translation of the document(s) listed is complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge and ability.
"Certified translation" means a translation that comes with this signed statement. There is no government license or USCIS approval for translators, and we are not affiliated with USCIS or any government agency.

Questions
Will USCIS accept it?
Our translations are made for the USCIS rule above: complete, in English, with the translator's signed certificate of competence and accuracy. No translator can promise how an officer will decide a case. If USCIS or another office questions our translation, send us the notice and we correct and re-certify it free.
Do I need a notary?
Not for USCIS. Some schools, courts or foreign offices ask for notarization; tell us in the notes and we'll say if we can help before you pay.
Who translates?
Brandon Scutt, a bilingual Spanish instructor (M.A. in Foreign Language and Literature, University of Nevada, Reno) who has taught college Spanish since 2008. We use software to draft and to check names, dates and numbers; a person reviews every line against your original and signs the certificate. Nobody signs for him.
Can I translate my own documents?
The rule doesn't name who must translate, but immigration lawyers usually advise against the applicant or a relative certifying their own documents. A neutral translator avoids the question.
Is my information safe?
Uploads go to private storage over an encrypted connection. They are never public, never shared, never used to train anything, and are deleted automatically 30 days after your order. You can ask us to delete them sooner.
What if a page is hard to read?
We mark unreadable words as [illegible] the way USCIS expects, and if a whole area is unclear we email you for a better photo before translating.
Do you fill out immigration forms or give legal advice?
No. We translate documents only. We are not lawyers and not immigration consultants. For legal questions, please talk to an immigration attorney or a DOJ-accredited representative.
Refunds
If we can't translate your document (for example, it isn't in Spanish), you get a full refund. Once a translation is delivered, we fix any error free instead of refunding.
