Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a certified and a standard translation?
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation required for official use by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), universities, colleges, state or federal institutions and courts. A certified translation includes a certificate issued on our corporate letterhead signed by the translator and a U.S. Language Services representative in PDF format.
A standard translation is a high-quality, professional translation of documents or text-based files delivered in an editable Word file. If you require a different format (pages, rtf, txt) just let us know when placing your order using the comments field.
How are the pages counted?
When you order a certified translation, the most significant variable is how the pages of the document are calculated. The number of physical pages in your original document is not what is being counted, instead it is the total word count.
Each page may contain up to 250 words. Pages may be letter size (8.5″ x 11″), A4 or smaller and one sided.
For example: A project with 2 physical pages that each contain 500 words (1,000 words total), is calculated as 4 pages (1,000 words ÷ 250 = 4 pages).

How do you ensure quality?
Our translators have years of experience in the translation industry and specialize in different areas of service. Many of them have graduate degrees and certificates in fields such as marketing, law and engineering. We’re very selective and accept less than 10% of the translators that apply.
A typical translator working for U.S. Language Services has over 5 years of experience and is fluent or bilingual in English and the source or target language.
How do you keep my information secure?
All your information is transmitted using SSL/TLS encryption.
U.S. Language Services has a strict confidentiality policy. We understand that in certain cases, given the sensitivity of the information to be translated, some clients require we sign a specific confidentiality agreement (NDA). We would be happy to sign your NDA.
How can I pay?
We accept all major credit cards, Apple Pay, PayPal and Google Pay.
Is my payment safe?
Yes. We never receive, store or keep your credit card information. Your credit card information is processed externally by Stripe. The same company that manages payments for companies such as Uber, Lyft, Target, Blue Apron, SquareSpace, Slack and Spotify (to name a few).
