Lao FAQ

Answers about Lao questions.

The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.

Can't find it here?

01Will USCIS accept your Lao translation?

Yes. Every Lao translation we deliver ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets USCIS requirements. It is accepted by USCIS, the State Department, U.S. embassies abroad, U.S. district and state courts, and state vital-records offices.

02Which variety of Lao do you translate into?

Lao and Thai are closely related but not the same language. U.S. clients sometimes mix them up — we confirm at booking.

03Do you handle specialist Lao content (legal, medical, technical)?

We translate Lao civil-registry documents and asylum / refugee-legacy documents for descendant applications.

04Does each Lao translation include a certificate?

Yes. Each Lao translation ships on our letterhead with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy meeting the USCIS requirements for foreign-language documents.

05Is my Lao content confidential?

Every Lao file is handled under NDA, encrypted in transit and at rest (TLS · AES-256) and retained per your instructions. HIPAA and GDPR workflows are available on request with a Business Associate Agreement.
