Spanish Translation FAQ
Do you translate Mexican birth certificates (acta de nacimiento) for USCIS?
Yes. We translate Mexican actas de nacimiento, including civil registry details, parent information, and any marginal notes or corrections. If the document has a QR code or barcode, we note it in the translation as a security feature.
Can you translate Central American civil records for I-130 or I-485 filings?
Yes. We handle birth, marriage, and death certificates from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and other Central American countries. We are familiar with the registry formats used by each country and ensure all stamps and annotations are translated.
What if my Spanish document has a notario público seal?
We translate all visible text, including the notarial seal description, signatures, and annotations. The notary seal is described in the translation. If the receiving agency also requires an apostille on the original document, we can explain that process.
Do you offer Spanish-language intake — can I explain my situation in Spanish?
Yes. Our Columbus office has Spanish-speaking staff who can assist with intake, review the document with you, and answer questions in Spanish before we begin translation.
How quickly can you translate a Spanish document for a South Columbus resident?
Standard turnaround is 2–3 business days. Rush service (24–48 hours) and same-day service for short documents are available. Certified translation is $50 per page, including a certification statement with a wet-ink signature.
I have a Colombian apostilled marriage certificate — do I still need a certified translation?
Yes. An apostille authenticates the document origin but does not translate the content. USCIS and U.S. courts still require a certified English translation of any foreign-language document, even if it carries an apostille.
