Can't find it here?
01Will USCIS accept your Somali translation?
Yes. Every Somali 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.
02Do you preserve stamps, seals and layout?
Yes. We preserve the visual layout of the source: tables, stamps, seals, signatures and hand-written annotations are described or re-created so the translated {language} document reads alongside the original, page for page.
03Do you handle specialist Somali content (legal, medical, technical)?
We translate Somali and Somaliland civil-registry documents and UNHCR refugee documents. Many Somali-origin applicants have no formal birth certificate and instead rely on I-765 / I-130 affidavits.
04Does each Somali translation include a certificate?
Yes. Each Somali translation ships on our letterhead with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy meeting the USCIS requirements for foreign-language documents.
05Is my Somali content confidential?
Every Somali 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.
