Certified, Notarized, Sworn — What Do You Actually Need?
These terms get used interchangeably, but they aren't the same thing, and the receiving agency usually cares about the difference:
- Certified translation
- A signed Certificate of Accuracy from the translator attesting the translation is complete and accurate. This is what USCIS, most U.S. courts, and most U.S. government agencies require.
- Notarized translation
- A notary public witnesses the translator sign the Certificate of Accuracy and applies their official seal. Notarization verifies the identity of the signer, not the accuracy of the translation. Some courts, banks, and foreign consulates specifically require this.
- Sworn translation
- In many European and Latin American countries, only a translator who has taken an oath before a court is authorized to produce a legally valid translation. If your document is going to a country outside the U.S., check whether it requires a sworn translator rather than a U.S.-style certified translation.
Most immigration and legal uses only require a certified translation with no notarization. Some courts, insurers, or licensing boards request notarization instead, so confirm with the receiving party before you order. Because medical records are sensitive, we handle every file confidentially and don't retain more than necessary to complete your order.
Medical Records Come in Every Format — We've Seen Them All
Hospital discharge summaries, handwritten prescriptions, lab and pathology reports, immunization booklets, and physician letters all look different from country to country, and clinical shorthand, drug names, and abbreviations (e.g., ICD codes, dosage notation) vary by health system. Our translators are experienced with clinical terminology in over 100 languages and preserve every value, date, and diagnosis exactly as recorded, rather than summarizing or reinterpreting the content.
Who Needs a Certified Medical Records Translation
A certified medical records translation is required whenever you submit foreign-language medical documentation to a government agency, court, licensing board, or insurer. Common situations include:

The translation matched our birth certificate exactly, and it was accepted by USCIS on the first try. Turnaround was faster than I expected.

Questions & Answers
Frequently asked questions.
The questions people ask before ordering a medical records translation.
How long does a certified medical records translation take?
Most certified medical records translations are completed within 24–48 hours. Expedited and same-day delivery are available for an additional fee when you're working against a court, licensing, or filing deadline.
Will my translated medical records be accepted by USCIS or an immigration court?
Yes. Every translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy that meets USCIS requirements under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) and is accepted by immigration courts and most government agencies. If it's ever rejected on accuracy grounds, we'll correct it at no additional cost.
Do you interpret or explain the medical content, or just translate it?
We translate exactly what's written, including clinical terms, drug names, dosages, and diagnoses, without adding medical opinions, interpretations, or explanations. If a clinician needs to interpret the content, that's a separate service from translation.
Are my medical records kept confidential?
Yes. We handle every file as sensitive personal information, limit access to the translators and reviewers working on your order, and don't retain files longer than necessary to complete and support your order.
Can a bilingual doctor, nurse, or family member translate my records instead?
No. Most agencies, including USCIS, require the translator to be a disinterested third party, not you, a relative, or the treating clinician. A translation from someone connected to your care is typically rejected.
Can you add or correct information that's missing or illegible on the original record?
No. A certified translation must be a complete, accurate rendering of the original document exactly as written. If part of the record is illegible, we'll flag it and contact you rather than guessing at the content.
Who certifies a medical records translation?
A professional translator experienced with clinical and medical terminology completes the translation and signs a Certificate of Accuracy attesting that it is a complete and accurate rendering of the original record.
Do you translate medical records for asylum cases and medical licensing applications?
Yes. We regularly translate medical and psychological evaluations for asylum applications, as well as medical school records, training certificates, and clinical documentation for ECFMG and other licensing processes.
