How to Translate Wedding Photos and Captions for Immigration
Let’s face it—proving a real marriage to USCIS isn’t always straightforward. One of the most heartfelt (and often overlooked) pieces of evidence? Your wedding photos and captions.
If your wedding captions, signs, or messages written in your native language appear in the photo album you’re submitting for a green card case, they must be translated into English—and yes, certified too.
At Virtual Same Day Marriage, we help couples nationwide—whether you’re looking for a certified translator in Los Angeles, legal document translation in Houston, or certified translation in New York. We’ve got you covered.
Why USCIS Needs Captions Translated
Photos are strong evidence of a real relationship, especially in a marriage-based green card case. But USCIS officers must understand everything that’s presented—including written captions, signs, or messages.
Here are some examples of what we regularly translate:
- Wedding invitation cards in your native language
- Captions on Instagram or printed albums
- Guestbook messages from your ceremony
- Signage from your wedding celebration (e.g., “Welcome to our big day” in Spanish, Farsi, Tagalog, etc.)
- Any texts or speech bubbles visible in the photos
Even handwritten love notes or captioned screenshots count if you plan to include them in your evidence packet.
Certified Translation Is a Must
You can’t just plug your captions into Google Translate and hope for the best. USCIS requires certified translations for anything that’s not in English.
Here’s what that means:
✅ A professional translator must prepare the document
✅ A signed certificate of accuracy must accompany it
✅ The translation must mirror the original text as closely as possible
We offer all of this with every order—and yes, we’re a go-to certified translator in Los Angeles, as well as for clients in Houston and New York.
When and Where to Get Wedding Captions Translated
You should prepare your translations before submitting:
- The I-130 or I-485 adjustment of status package
- The K-1 visa petition
- Evidence of a bona fide marriage for consular processing
- An RFE (Request for Evidence) asking for additional relationship proof
Whether your captions are on a physical wedding album or saved in a digital folder, we can help translate them—fast.
