Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a certified translation?

    A certified translation is a complete and faithful translation of the original document, prepared by a qualified translator with experience translating from the source language to the target language. It includes a Certificate of Translation Accuracy signed by the translator, along with their contact details.

  • Are your translations accepted by USCIS?

    Yes. All of our certified translations are guaranteed for acceptance by USCIS. They are completed by qualified, experienced native translators and delivered with a Certificate of Translation Accuracy signed by the translator and a representative of our company, along with MJC Translate’s contact details.

  • How much does a certified translation cost?

    The cost of a certified translation depends on the number of pages, the language pair, and whether any additional services are required. Get a free quote; prices start at $23.95 USD per page.

  • How long does a certified translation take?

    For translations intended for USCIS and other institutions in the U.S., our standard delivery times are: 24 hours for 1 to 3 pages, 48 hours for 4 to 10 pages and 72 hours for 10 to 30 pages. Priority delivery may reduce these turnaround times by half, or more where possible. If notarization is required, the turnaround time may increase by 12 to 24 hours. If your document is longer than 30 pages, please send us a message, or email us at support@mjctranslate.com for a personalized turnaround estimate.

  • In which languages do you offer translation?

    We translate from over 90 source languages into the following target languages: US English, UK English, Irish English, Australian English, New Zealand English, Canadian English, and Canadian French. The target language determines the certification and acceptance requirements, which is why the number of languages for which we guarantee acceptance is more limited. We aim to offer services responsibly and transparently. See the full list of covered languages.

  • I don't need certification, just translation for commercial use, do you offer that service?

    Yes, we offer standard translation services for personal and commercial use. Translations are completed by qualified, experienced translators who are native speakers of the target language, helping ensure that your message is conveyed accurately, effectively, and naturally. This service is charged per word, at $0.10 USD per word.
