💍 Certified Translation Services for Immigration Couples
If you and your spouse are navigating the U.S. immigration process, one of the most important steps is making sure all your foreign-language documents are translated correctly. And not just any translation—USCIS, the National Visa Center, and U.S. embassies all require compliance-focused document translation that meets specific legal standards.
At Virtual Same Day Marriage, we specialize in helping marriage-based immigration clients get the right documents submitted the right way. Whether you need a translation with signature and seal or are wondering if you need an apostille after certified translation, this guide will walk you through what’s required—and how we make it easy.
📋 Why Certified Translation Matters for Marriage-Based Immigration
If your marriage certificate or supporting documents (like birth certificates or divorce decrees) are not in English, you must submit certified English translations when applying for:
- A green card (adjustment of status or consular)
- A work permit (Form I-765)
- Travel documents (Form I-131)
- Fiancé or spousal visas (K-1 or CR-1)
USCIS and consulates will not accept documents unless they are:
- Complete and accurate
- Fully translated, word-for-word
- Accompanied by a certification of translation

✅ What Is a Translation with Signature and Seal?
A proper translation with signature and seal includes:
- A complete English version of your document
- A certification statement from the translator declaring accuracy
- The translator’s name, signature, and contact information
- A company or professional seal or stamp
We include this with every order at no extra cost. Our certified translations are accepted by:
- USCIS
- U.S. embassies abroad
- State departments
- Family courts and government agencies

🌍 Do You Need an Apostille After Certified Translation?
If you’re submitting your marriage certificate outside the United States—for example, during consular processing or to a foreign government—you may need to get an apostille after certified translation.
An apostille is a formal certification added to your U.S. document that makes it valid for international use under the Hague Apostille Convention.
We offer a full service bundle:
- We’ll translate your document
- Apply for the apostille from the appropriate Secretary of State
- Return everything to you—digitally or physically
