Any foreign language document offered by a party in a proceeding shall be accompanied by an English language translation and a certification signed by the translator that must be printed legibly or typed. Such certification must include a statement that the translator is competent to translate the document, and that the translation is true and accurate to the best of the translator's abilities. We certify our translation in a format created by the USCIS (U.S. Immigration - INS) as required above. There is no mention of notarization or notarized translation in the statement above.
