**Direct answer:** USCIS accepted translations are complete English translations paired with a signed Certificate of Accuracy that states the translation is complete and accurate and the translator is competent.

TurboTranslate provides that packet as human translation with signed and stamped certification for $27.50 per page (up to 250 words per page), with delivery starting at 24 hours and a 100% money-back guarantee if a U.S. Federal Agency does not accept it.

USCIS requires that all documents not in English be accompanied by certified translations to show they are complete and authentic. What counts for filing is not a separate approval status, but a complete packet:

- Complete English translation of the source document
- Signed Certificate of Accuracy confirming completeness, accuracy, and translator competence
- Verbatim translation without alterations or interpretations, including stamps, seals, and annotations
- Translator identification, signature, and date with reference to the original document

TurboTranslate describes a certified translation as a complete English translation paired with a signed Certificate of Accuracy, with signed and stamped certification included. Full terms are stated on [Our Guarantee](https://www.turbotranslate.org/our-guarantee/).
