Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a translation 'certified' for USCIS?

USCIS requires a signed certification by the translator stating that the translation is accurate and complete, and that the translator is competent in both languages. No specific credential or notarization is required by USCIS itself.

How long does a certified Korean-to-English translation take?

Standard turnaround is 1–3 business days depending on document length and complexity. Rush options are available for same-day or next-day delivery.

Do I need a certified translation AND an apostille for USCIS?

For many USCIS submissions, yes — both are required. The apostille certifies the Korean document is genuine; the certified translation makes it readable to US authorities.
