Certified Translation Services for the Government Industry
Government agencies and the people filing with them both need translations that hold up to formal scrutiny, an inaccurate or informally translated document can delay a filing or get it rejected outright. Whether you’re a government office processing multilingual public records or an individual submitting a form to an agency, we translate government documents accurately and deliver on your filing timeline.
Common Government Documents We Translate
What Government Translation Actually Requires
Government forms and public records follow specific formats that a translation needs to preserve exactly for the receiving office to process it correctly. Every government translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy, and a second linguist checks the work before delivery.
- Accurate translation of official terminology and formatting, preserving the original document’s structure.
- A signed Certificate of Accuracy included with every certified translation.
- Confidential handling of personal and official information.
- Notarization available as an add-on when a receiving agency requires it.
Apostille is not a service we offer. If your filing requires one on top of translation, that has to be arranged separately through the appropriate government office.
Immigration Filings Have Their Own Pages
For USCIS, IRCC, or UKVI immigration filings specifically, see our dedicated USCIS Certified Translation, IRCC Certified Translation, and UKVI Certified Translation pages, which cover each country’s exact requirement in detail.
Built for Government Agencies, Contractors, and Individuals Alike
A single individual filing one form and a government office processing records across a multilingual population both get the same accuracy standard. If your agency or organization needs translation on an ongoing basis, see our Business & Bulk Translation and Enterprise Translation Solutions pages for volume pricing, dedicated account management, and API access.
Pricing
Government translation is priced the same as our standard certified translation rate, no industry markup. See Certified Translation and Pricing for exact rates, and Notarization if your filing requires it.
Sample certified translation documents
Your certified translation is delivered as a digital PDF with an official Certificate of Translation Accuracy, signed and stamped by the translator and Cloud Translate. We apply basic formatting to keep it readable, but we do not replicate the design of your source document.
The certification includes:
- A statement confirming the translation is complete and accurate.
- The document description and language pair.
- The translator’s signature and qualifications.
- Cloud Translate’s signature, stamp, letterhead, and contact information.
Questions & Answers
Frequently asked questions.
The questions government clients ask before ordering a translation.
Do you offer apostille for documents going to a foreign government?
No, apostille isn’t a service we offer. If your filing requires one on top of translation, that has to be arranged separately through the appropriate government office.
Do you hold a government security clearance or vendor certification?
No, we don’t currently hold a security clearance or a specific government vendor certification. If your agency requires one to engage us as a vendor, let us know before ordering so we can tell you plainly whether we’re able to meet that requirement.
Do you offer notarization for government filings?
Yes, notarization is available as an add-on to certified translation. See our Notarization page for pricing and when it’s actually required.
What government documents do you translate?
Public records, vital records, and government forms are the most common, along with national ID cards and naturalization certificates. See our Government Filings use case page and the document links below for specifics.
Is this the right page for immigration-related government translation specifically?
For USCIS, IRCC, or UKVI filings specifically, see our dedicated Immigration Authorities pages, they cover each country’s exact requirement in detail. This page covers government translation more broadly.
How fast can you turn around a government filing?
Standard turnaround is 24-48 hours, with rush and same-day options available for filing deadlines.
Can a government agency send translation requests for multiple filings or an ongoing caseload?
Yes, through our Business & Bulk Translation and Enterprise Translation Solutions pages, both built for organizations with recurring or high-volume translation needs, including dedicated account management.
