What Makes Chinese (Simplified) Document Translation Different
Chinese (Simplified) document translation has its own considerations, so here's how we handle it:
- Simplified Chinese, not Traditional
- Simplified Chinese is used in mainland China and Singapore, while Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau use Traditional Chinese; if your document is in Traditional Chinese, let us know and we'll route it correctly rather than assume.
- Chinese names and romanization
- Chinese names are traditionally written family-name-first and can be romanized in Pinyin or older systems several different ways; we keep your name spelling consistent with your passport or prior USCIS filings across every document.
- Hukou booklets and other Chinese civil documents
- many clients need a page from a hukou (household registration booklet) translated rather than a standalone birth certificate; we translate the relevant page or pages accurately as the document type it actually is.
- Sending a document to China instead?
- some Chinese documents already carry a notarization stamp from a Chinese notary office (公证处); that's separate from the U.S. Certificate of Accuracy we provide. If your document needs to go to an office in China, confirm the requirement with the receiving office.
What that means for your document
Chinese civil records often come from a hukou booklet rather than a standalone certificate, and both script (Simplified vs. Traditional) and name romanization need to be confirmed upfront; an unfamiliar translator can trip on either one.
Documents We Most Commonly Translate From Chinese (Simplified)
These are the documents we translate from Chinese (Simplified) most often:

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 Chinese (Simplified) translation.
How long does a certified Chinese translation take?
Most are completed within 24–48 hours. Expedited and same-day delivery are available when a deadline is close.
Will USCIS accept my certified Chinese translation?
Yes. We provide a signed Certificate of Accuracy with every translation, the standard format USCIS and most U.S. agencies require for Chinese-language documents.
Is this the right page if my document is in Traditional Chinese?
Simplified Chinese is used in mainland China and Singapore; Traditional Chinese is used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. Let us know which script your document is in when you upload, and we'll assign a translator experienced with that script.
What's a hukou, and can you translate mine?
A hukou is China's household registration booklet, often used in place of a standalone birth certificate to prove family relationships and vital records. Yes, we regularly translate the relevant hukou pages.
My Chinese document already has a notarization stamp from a Chinese notary office — do I still need a U.S. certified translation?
Yes. A Chinese notarization confirms the original document under Chinese law; USCIS and most U.S. agencies still require a separate certified English translation with our Certificate of Accuracy.
What documents make up a Chinese academic record?
Chinese academic records typically include a graduation certificate, a degree certificate, and an official transcript, which are often issued as separate documents. We translate the complete set your case requires.
Do you handle Chinese name order and romanization?
Yes. Chinese names are traditionally family-name-first, and we keep the romanized spelling consistent with your passport or prior USCIS filings so nothing looks inconsistent to a reviewer.
My document needs to go to China, not a U.S. agency. Is this the right page?
If your document is headed to a government office in China, the requirement for official use there is different, a distinct process from the U.S. Certificate of Accuracy we provide. Confirm with the receiving office whether this applies to your case.
