Swahili Translation FAQ

Do you translate Kenyan birth certificates — which are often bilingual — for USCIS?

Yes. Many Kenyan birth certificates include both Swahili and English text. We translate the Swahili sections and note the English sections in the translation. The certification statement covers the complete document.

How long does Swahili translation take near East Columbus?

Standard service is 2–3 business days. Contact our Columbus office to confirm availability for Swahili documents and current turnaround times.

Can you translate Tanzanian or Ugandan documents in Swahili?

Yes. We handle Swahili documents from Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and other East African countries. Each country's civil records have slightly different administrative layouts, which our translators are familiar with.

Do I need a certified translation even if my Kenyan document is partly in English?

USCIS requires a certified English translation of the complete document — including the parts already in English. A partial translation or an uncertified translation will not satisfy the USCIS requirement.
