I have been utilizing the translation services of Vanan on and off for nearly a decade now. It has been so seamless working with them. Would recommend Vanan for anyone needing documents translated from Haitian Creole and/or French to English!

I was delighted with the quality of the translation and especially with the incredibly quick turnaround. I was in government offices, suddenly realized I needed a foreign language document officially translated, and Vanan had it back to me within an hour.

Very friendly service from start to finish. I needed a certain part of my divorce decree translated and they went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied with the final result. Also, I forgot to mention that they delivered way earlier than I expected. I highly recommend them :)))

Readily available, helpful, and professional customer service. I had all my questions answered and my translation ordered within 20 minutes of accessing the webpage, and all via online chat. In an era of online chatbots, it was a pleasure to have a clear, efficient, communication with a human being. Aaron was excellent.

What is a certified affidavit translation?

A certified affidavit translation is a complete, word-for-word translation of a sworn statement, delivered with a signed certificate of translation in which the translator confirms that the translation is complete and accurate and that they are competent in both languages. The statement, the oath or affirmation clause, the jurat, and every signature and seal are translated or noted where they appear, so the receiving court or agency reads the whole document.

The phrase "affidavit translation" can refer to two different requests:

  • An affidavit of translation: the translator's own statement that a translation is accurate, sworn or affirmed before a notary public. A notarized certificate is not always the same thing, because the notary may only confirm the signature, so tell us whether your recipient needs the translator to swear to the statement.
  • Translating an affidavit: someone swore a statement in one language, and a court, agency or consulate needs it in another. Examples include evidence for an affidavit of support, a birth affidavit, an affidavit of single status, a witness affidavit.

Certified affidavit translation starts at $45 per page for orders of 1–5 pages, with the certificate of translation included and notarization available at $15 per page.

Certified, notarized, sworn or apostilled: which one does your recipient need?

The court, agency or consulate that receives the translation decides which form it accepts, so check its instructions before you order.

Notarized translationA notary public confirms the signer's identity and notarizes the signature; with a jurat, the signer also swears or affirms the statement. The notary does not check the translationSome courts, banks, schools and foreign consulates$15 per page; $5 per additional certificate

ApostilleAuthenticates the notary's signature and seal for use in a country that is party to the Hague Apostille Convention; it does not certify the translationForeign authorities in Hague Convention countries$100 for the first certificate; $10 for each additional one

What stays in the translation, and what the certificate states

Every part of the affidavit carries over into the translation in its original order:

  • the deponent's statement, word for word, with names, dates and places as written;
  • the original oath or affirmation clause and the jurat, translated faithfully, without adding or replacing any legal statement;
  • signatures, seals, stamps and the notary's commission details, noted where they appear on the page;
  • handwritten additions, with any word that cannot be read flagged in brackets and checked with you rather than filled in.

The certificate of translation identifies the document and the language pair, states that the translation is complete and accurate, confirms the translator's competence in both languages, and carries the signature and date. A sample certificate of translation is available in the samples section below.

How much does translation cost?

Vital documents are priced per page; other documents are priced per word. For orders of 16+ pages or the equivalent word count, rates start at $25 per page or $0.10 per word.

Translator reviewing a certified affidavit translation and its signed certificate of translation

Professional Affidavit Translation Services with Certified Accuracy

Courts, immigration offices and consulates may compare a translated affidavit with its original, so names, dates and sworn statements must be represented faithfully. Vanan Services provides certified translation of affidavits by native-speaking translators, with a second linguist reviewing each file before delivery.

Each translation comes with a signed certificate of translation at no extra charge. Customer support is available 24/7, and affidavit translation is offered in over 100 languages. We offer discounts on bulk orders.

For larger affidavit orders, the pricing table on this page shows the page and word-count tiers. Call 1-800-230-7918 for a free quote based on your document and filing requirements.

Rules for affidavits differ between countries: some require witness signatures or set wording for the oath, so tell us where the translation will be filed and we prepare it to that recipient's instructions.

Our legal translation team works from the filing instructions you provide, and the receiving court or agency makes the final decision on acceptance.

Types of affidavits translated, from birth affidavits to witness statements

Which affidavits do we translate?

We translate affidavits and sworn declarations, including typed statements and handwritten document translation, and offer digital & physical copy delivery to suit your filing.

We also translate adoption-related affidavits and the supporting records covered by our adoption documents translation services when they are part of the same filing.

Types of Affidavits We Translate

  • Immigration: evidence filed with an affidavit of support (the Form I-864 itself is filed in English), affidavits of relationship, and asylum declarations, with dates, names and the first-person account kept intact
  • Personal status: birth affidavits used where no birth record exists, affidavits of single status before a marriage abroad, name change and "one and the same person" affidavits, and affidavits of identity or of lost documents
  • Family: custody, guardianship and adoption consent affidavits
  • Estate and property: affidavits of heirship, property ownership and residence

Affidavits are often filed with supporting records, and we translate those in the same order, including birth certificates, marriage certificates, passports, court orders, diplomas, bank statements and tax records, with every name spelled the same way across the set.

Corporate affidavit translated for a business filing

Business Translation Solutions for Corporate Affidavit Documents

Corporate affidavits, such as officer affidavits, affidavits of service and sworn financial statements, depend on exact oath wording and exact figures, so both are translated line for line.

Our translation agency treats every business document with the care and attention it deserves. We keep comprehensive non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) in place to protect your sensitive company information throughout the entire process.

For urgent corporate filings, our same-day certified translation service helps businesses meet tight submission deadlines without compromising document integrity.

Oath and affirmation wording differs between legal systems. We translate the original wording faithfully, keeping the document's structure and introducing no new oath or legal statement.

Every business affidavit goes through our four-stage quality review (translate, edit, proofread, quality assurance) before delivery, and is prepared for filing to the instructions you provide.

Affidavit translation prepared for a government agency filing

Government Services Affidavit Translation for Official Proceedings

Federal, state and municipal agencies may review a translated affidavit against the original, so every date, name and seal has to carry over. We prepare government affidavit translations for filings at each of those levels.

Whether you're working with federal correspondence, need help with a state document, or are handling a municipal document, we know how important precision is. Our translators carefully maintain formatting & layout retention and glossary & terminology consistency so your paperwork looks exactly right.

When affidavits are submitted alongside birth certificates, marriage records, or other official paperwork, vital document translation helps maintain consistency across all supporting documents.

Tell us which agency will receive the affidavit, and we follow its published translation instructions; the agency decides on acceptance.

Affidavit translation prepared for a USCIS immigration filing

Affidavit translation for USCIS, immigration court and embassies

USCIS requires every foreign-language document, affidavits included, to come with a full English translation and the translator's certification that it is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate, under Title 8 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), section 103.2(b)(3). USCIS does not require that certification to be notarized.

We prepare USCIS certified translation for naturalization, green card and family petitions, including the foreign-language evidence behind an affidavit of support and affidavits of relationship. A single point of contact handles your order from upload to delivery.

Immigration courts follow their own rule. The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) Policy Manual requires a typed, signed translator certification attached to the foreign-language document. It must state that the translator is competent and that the translation is true and accurate, include the translator's address and telephone number, and list the documents if one certification covers several. Tell us when a translation is for immigration court, and we prepare the certificate in that form.

Using a U.S. affidavit abroad works differently. Many consulates accept a certified translation, some countries accept only a translator sworn or appointed by their own courts or ministries, and others ask for an apostille on the notarized certificate. Check the consulate's instructions first, and we prepare the translation to match.

Our visa translation service covers the civil documents that usually travel with an affidavit, and the receiving officer decides on acceptance.

We also provide divorce certificate translation services for the civil records that are often filed with a sworn statement.

Common uses for a translated affidavit: courts, universities and consulates

Common Use Cases for Professional Affidavit Translation Services

Translated affidavits are filed with courts, agencies, universities, consulates and banks. For property abroad, our real estate translations cover the ownership and occupancy affidavits that come with a sale. Common situations that call for professional affidavit translation services include:

  • Immigration applications and visa petitions for USCIS
  • Court proceedings and litigation support documentation
  • Universities' admission and academic credential verification
  • Embassies and consulates' visa application requirements
  • Property ownership and real estate transactions abroad
  • International adoption and family reunification cases
  • Employment authorization and work permit applications
  • Insurance claims and beneficiary designation documents
  • International business partnerships and joint ventures
  • Child custody and guardianship proceedings overseas
  • Medical treatment authorization for minors abroad
  • Financial account opening and banking documentation
  • International marriage and divorce proceedings
  • Estate planning and inheritance documentation

How do I prepare an affidavit for translation?

Send a clear scan or phone photo of every page, including any reverse side with text, signatures, stamps or seals, and the notary block, and tell us where the translation will be filed.

  • Every page and attachment: include any exhibits the affidavit refers to, so they can be reviewed and quoted together with it.
  • The receiving body: USCIS, an immigration court, a state court or a named consulate, so the certificate, notarization or apostille matches what it asks for.
  • Name spellings: the spellings used on passports or earlier filings, so names stay consistent with your other documents where the original allows, and any difference in the original is flagged.
  • Your deadline: standard delivery is 1–8 business days for up to 10 pages, depending on the language, and rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours is available.

You receive the translation electronically. Printed copies are available by mail for $25 per order, with standard shipping included.

File Information

File Type & Page Count: Scanned document (JPEG); 1 page

Goal

The client, working within the legal sector, required a fast and accurate translation of an official Haitian affidavit (ID Loss Report) into English for use in a USCIS immigration process.

Key Challenges

  • Quality assurance check for language and format compliance.
  • Coordination of hard copy mailing and tracking for the client's records.
  • Direct client communication for pre-delivery approval and post-delivery support.

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions we get every day, answered straight. No fluff.

Every affidavit we translate comes with a signed certificate of translation at no extra charge. The certificate states that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent in both languages, which meets USCIS's general certification requirement; courts and other agencies may add their own filing instructions. The receiving court or agency makes the final decision, so tell us where you will file the translation.
Word for word. Legal formulas, the oath or affirmation, the jurat and the venue wording are translated faithfully, without changing or creating any oath or attestation, because an affidavit's effect depends on its exact wording. A second linguist, working independently from the translator, reviews every file before delivery.
Rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours is available for urgent filings, with the exact time set by the page count, the language and how legible the scan is. Standard delivery is 1–8 business days for up to 10 pages, depending on the language. Your quote confirms the delivery date before work starts.
Notarization is available at $15 per page, with $5 for each additional certificate, when the receiving court, consulate or agency asks for it; USCIS does not require it. For use in a country that is party to the Hague Apostille Convention, we can also obtain an apostille on the notarized certificate for $100 for the first certificate and $10 for each additional one. Tell us the destination country and the receiving authority when you order.
Signatures, seals, stamps, the jurat and the notary's details are translated or noted in the position where they appear, so the translation follows the layout of the original. Handwritten words are transcribed where they can be read, and any word that cannot be read is flagged in brackets and checked with you.
We translate affidavits between English and 100+ languages in both directions, by native-speaking translators. Common language options include Spanish, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Tagalog and Haitian Creole; for a less common pair, send the language and we confirm availability before you order.
NDAs and secure transfer protect case material throughout. Files are transferred using encryption, access is limited to the team assigned to your project, and we can work under your organization's own confidentiality agreement in addition to ours.
Names are kept consistent with your passport and earlier filings where the original allows, so the affidavit reads in line with the rest of your case. Share the spellings used in earlier filings, and we flag any difference that appears in the original affidavit.
Upload a clear scan or phone photo of every page, tell us the language pair and where the translation will be filed, and choose any notarization or printed copies. You receive the price and delivery date in writing before work starts, and support is available 24/7.
A court decides whether to accept a translated affidavit. Courts may require a complete certified translation and, depending on the jurisdiction, notarization, a translator from their own approved list or other documents. Check the court's filing instructions, and we prepare the translation and certificate to match them.
Certified affidavit translation costs from $45 per page for orders of 1–5 pages, $35 per page for 6–15 pages and $25 per page for orders of 16+ pages, with the certificate of translation included. Notarization is $15 per page, the minimum order is $25, and a 5% transaction fee applies to the order subtotal.
For foreign-language documents submitted to USCIS, a full English translation with the translator's certification of accuracy and competence is required, and the general rule does not require that certification to be notarized. How the original affidavit itself must be sworn is a separate question set by the form or the issuing country. Add notarization only when another recipient, such as a court, bank or foreign consulate, asks for it.
A notary who is qualified to translate may translate a document, but cannot notarize their own signature on the certificate of translation. A different notary public must notarize it, using the notarial act your recipient requires.
The general USCIS translation rule does not expressly prohibit translating your own document, but the certification must state that the translator is competent in both languages and that the translation is complete and accurate. Check any additional instructions for your filing, and consider an independent translator if impartiality could be questioned.
An affidavit is a written statement sworn or affirmed before an officer authorized to give oaths, such as a notary public. An unsworn declaration is signed under penalty of perjury instead of being sworn before an officer; in U.S. federal matters, Title 28 of the U.S. Code, section 1746 allows a properly worded declaration under penalty of perjury in place of an affidavit in many proceedings, with statutory exceptions. We translate both, along with the oath or perjury clause each one carries.
