Apostille Translation Services, Fast, Reliable, Affordable.

When Do You Need It?

Hiring an Apostille and Translation services for your documents is often required for various reasons, such as participating in legal proceedings internationally, working overseas, enrolling in foreign educational institutions, engaging in international business transactions, and, more commonly, immigrating to another country, particularly with USCIS applications.

For instance, if you are moving to the United States or another country that recognizes the Hague Apostille Convention and you need to submit foreign-issued documents, you should both translate and apostille them to ensure they would be acknowledged.

Here’s how Apostille translation is used in various USCIS applications:

Visa and Family-Based Immigration: USCIS often requires that documents originally in a foreign language be translated into English. The Apostille may be necessary to verify the authenticity of these documents, especially if they were issued abroad.

Adjustment of Status and Employment-Based Immigration: Documents issued outside the United States that support applications like adjustment of status or employment-based immigration might also need an Apostille to ensure their legitimacy.

Naturalization: For naturalization applications, USCIS might require an Apostille for foreign-issued documents to confirm their validity.

Asylum and Refugee Status: While supporting documents for asylum or refugee status must be translated into English, whether an Apostille is required can vary based on the origin of the documents and specific USCIS instructions.

While translation into English is a common requirement by USCIS for non-English documents, whether an Apostille is needed can depend on the document’s country of origin and the particular immigration procedure.
