Why People Need a Translated Naturalization Certificate
A translated naturalization certificate is usually needed to prove U.S. citizenship to someone outside the U.S. Two of the most common situations:
One Difference From Every Other Document Here: This One Usually Starts in English
A Certificate of Naturalization is a U.S. government document, so unlike most documents on this site, you're usually translating it out of English into another language, for a foreign consulate, a family member's petition abroad, or a government agency in your country of origin, rather than into English. We handle both directions: English to your language, and, for certificates issued by other countries, that language into English. Older and current certificate formats, certificate number, photo description, oath date, and seal are all reproduced exactly.
Certified, Notarized — What Sending This Abroad Usually Needs
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.

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 naturalization certificate translation.
How long does a certified naturalization certificate translation take?
Most certified naturalization certificate translations are completed within 24–48 hours. Expedited and same-day delivery are available for an additional fee when you're working against a petition or consulate deadline.
Am I translating this into English or out of English?
Most U.S. Certificates of Naturalization are issued in English, so you're usually translating out of English into another language for a foreign consulate or government agency. If you have a foreign-issued citizenship certificate that needs to go the other way, into English, we handle that too. Just let us know which direction you need.
Will my translated certificate be accepted by a foreign consulate or government agency?
Yes, when the requirement is a certified translation. Every translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy.
Can you translate an older-design certificate or one with a different certificate number format?
Yes. We translate both older and current Certificate of Naturalization formats, preserving whatever certificate number format, seal, and layout your version carries.
Can a family member or a bilingual friend translate the certificate instead?
Most agencies require the translator to be a disinterested third party, not you, a relative, or a friend. A translation from someone connected to your case is typically rejected.
Who certifies a naturalization certificate translation?
A professional translator completes the translation and signs a Certificate of Accuracy attesting that it is a complete and accurate rendering of the original certificate.
How much does a naturalization certificate translation cost?
Standard certified translation is $18 per page. Expedited (rush) translation is $28 per page. Notarization is available as an add-on for $9 per document.
Can you translate a damaged or faded certificate?
Send us the clearest copy or photo you have. Our translators are experienced with older and worn certificates, and we'll contact you directly if any detail needs clarification rather than guessing.
