Sworn words, moved between legal systems.
An affidavit is testimony on paper: someone swore to these exact words. That is why translating one is different from translating information — the reader is evaluating the oath, the declarant, and the phrasing itself, and all three must survive the crossing.
USCIS as secondary evidence
When a birth or marriage was never registered, immigration practice turns to affidavits from relatives who witnessed the facts. These filings live or die on precise, complete translation of what was sworn.
Courts and proceedings
Foreign affidavits enter US litigation as evidence, and US affidavits travel abroad. Either direction, the operative statements are quoted and argued over — so the translation renders them exactly.
Banks and institutions
Affidavits of support, of identity, of single status — institutions ask for sworn statements constantly, and a certified translation is the format their compliance files accept.
Attorneys building records
Counsel drafting around a foreign affidavit needs to know precisely what it commits the declarant to. A faithful translation is the difference between building on rock and building on paraphrase.
What gets translated
The oath and the words under it.
Every element of an affidavit exists to make the statement legally weighable: who swore, before whom, to what, and when. The translation preserves each element in place.
The declarant’s statement
The sworn narrative rendered faithfully — first person, tense, and emphasis preserved, because the declarant owns these words.
Sworn formulas and jurats
The oath language and attestation block translated as written. The translation reports the oath; it does not re-administer it.
Stamps and signatures
Official stamps, the declarant’s signature, and witnessing officials described exactly where they appear.
Dates, places, and references
Execution dates, locations, and any registry or file numbers carried across without deviation.
Names tied to the case file
Declarant and subject names rendered consistently with the documents the affidavit supports.
Exhibits and attachments
Referenced attachments translated alongside, so the affidavit’s references still point at something.
Before you order
What makes an affidavit work as evidence.
Translation is not re-swearing
The legal force of an affidavit comes from the original oath. Our certificate attests that the translation is accurate — it does not, and cannot, make the statement sworn in English. Reviewers understand this split precisely, and it is why the certified format works.
The details must match the case
An affidavit supporting a birth claim gets checked against every name and date in the file. Before it is sworn, make sure the declarant’s spellings match the documents — after it is sworn, we translate what it says, discrepancies included.
More affiants, more weight
For secondary evidence, two independent affidavits are the practical standard. Translating them together costs little extra by word count and lets consistent renderings show they describe the same events.

FAQ
The questions that actually come up.
The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.
Can't find it here?
01Will USCIS accept a translated affidavit as secondary evidence?
Affidavits are the standard secondary evidence when a registry record never existed, and ours are delivered as complete certified translations with a signed Certificate of Accuracy. Note the usual pairing: the affidavit plus evidence that the primary record is unavailable. What combination your case needs is a question for your attorney.
02Does the translation carry the same legal force as the sworn original?
The original stays the sworn instrument; the certified translation lets an English-speaking authority read it and relies on our accuracy certification. No translation anywhere re-swears a statement — anyone promising that is selling something else.
03The affidavit mentions dates that conflict with my other documents.
We translate what was sworn, exactly — smoothing a date would falsify testimony. We will flag the conflict to you before delivery so you and your attorney can decide whether to file it, explain it, or have a corrected affidavit sworn.
04Can you translate an English affidavit into another language for use abroad?
Yes — outbound sworn statements for foreign courts, consulates, and registries are translated by native speakers of the target language with the same certification. Ask the receiving authority about their format rules first; some prescribe layouts we can match.
05How is the price calculated?
By word count. Upload the affidavit, we count the words, and the exact total shows before you pay — starting at $24.95. Attachments are priced as part of the same order if you include them.
06Can I send a phone photo of a signed affidavit?
Yes — every page, sharp and complete, with stamps and signatures fully in frame. If a notarial stamp is embossed rather than inked, photograph it at an angle where the relief is visible so it can be described accurately.
