Top 10 Documents That Require Certified Translation in the USA
Navigating life in the United States often involves dealing with important documents that need to be translated accurately and officially. From personal milestones to professional advancements, certified translations are often required to meet legal, educational, and administrative standards. At Carolina Translation Center, we specialize in providing precise and timely certified translations for clients across the entire USA, including North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Chicago, and New York.
The 10 Most Commonly Translated Documents
Here’s a list of the top documents that frequently require certified translation:
- Birth Certificates
Essential for immigration, visa applications, and school enrollment. Many of these also require an apostille to validate the document for use internationally. - Marriage Certificates
Required for spousal visas, name changes, or legal proceedings. Marriage certificates often need an apostille when presented abroad. - Immigration Documents
USCIS often requires translations of passports, visas, and residency applications. While these typically don’t need an apostille for domestic use, some international immigration offices may require it. - Diplomas and Academic Transcripts
Vital for applying to universities, jobs, or credential evaluations. For international studies or work opportunities, an apostille is often requested to confirm the document’s authenticity. - Medical Records
Needed for healthcare services, insurance claims, or medical treatments. While translations are the focus, certain countries may require an apostille for cross-border healthcare services. - Contracts and Agreements
Used in legal and business transactions, ensuring clarity for all parties. Apostilles may be necessary for international agreements to guarantee their validity. - Divorce Decrees
Required for remarriage, custody agreements, or legal matters. If these documents are being submitted overseas, an apostille is often needed. - Power of Attorney Documents
Necessary for legal authority in cross-border or international cases. Apostilles are commonly added to validate these documents in other countries. - Financial Statements
Commonly needed for loans, tax filings, or business transactions. Apostilles are sometimes required when dealing with international banks or institutions. - Adoption Papers
Crucial for international adoptions, requiring accurate translations and an apostille to comply with legal requirements abroad.
