Latin to English Certified Translation

Experienced Latin Translators. 100% USCIS Acceptance Guaranteed.

If you are submitting Latin-language documents to USCIS, a U.S. consulate, a court, or an immigration attorney, the translation attached to your filing has to meet a specific standard: a complete, word-for-word rendering of the original, paired with a signed statement certifying its accuracy. USCIS Translations provides certified Latin to English translation built for exactly this purpose, backed by our free-revision guarantee.

We regularly translate the Latin-language records that come up in immigration, citizenship, and genealogy filings — baptism, marriage, and burial registers kept by parishes, older university diplomas and academic records, historical civil and notarial records, and legal instruments from civil-law jurisdictions — and every order includes a signed certification of accuracy.

Across all languages, USCIS Translations has translated more than 50 million words for over 16,000 clients, working in 65+ languages under an ISO-certified process.

Why Choose USCIS Translations for Latin Translation

Latin has no modern native speakers, so what matters is experience. Our Latin translators are professionals experienced in classical, medieval, and ecclesiastical Latin, with hands-on work on church registers, academic records, and legal and notarial documents prepared for immigration filings, so names, dates, and formulae carry over correctly instead of being approximated.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

Each translation ships with a signed certificate of translation accuracy that satisfies 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), the regulation USCIS cites when it requires foreign-language documents to be translated in full. If a submission is ever rejected due to how it was translated, we correct it at no charge.

Latin Documents We Translate

USCIS Translations translates the full text of Latin-language records, including church registers, academic records, and historical civil and notarial documents, into English for immigration, citizenship, and genealogy filings.

Certified vs. Notarized Latin Translation

USCIS does not require notarization — it requires a certification statement from the translator or translation company attesting to their competence in both languages and the accuracy of the translation. That statement is included by default on every order. If a court, school, or employer separately asks for notarization on top of certification, we offer that as a $9 add-on at checkout.

✓ CERTIFIED (REQUIRED BY USCIS)

Signed statement from the translator attesting to competency and accuracy. Included on every order by default.

+ NOTARIZED (ADD-ON AVAILABLE)

Notary public verifies the translator’s identity and signature. Required by some courts, schools, or foreign consulates — add on at checkout for $9.

Latin Variants, Handwriting & Names

Latin appears in several forms: classical Latin, medieval Latin, and the ecclesiastical Latin used in church records. Each has its own vocabulary, spelling, and formulae, and the translator matches the variant used in your document. Scribal abbreviations are common in older records and are expanded in the translation. Place and personal names often appear in Latinised forms, so we render the Latin form and note the modern equivalent where it is clear.

Handwritten and aged documents need careful reading. Handwritten pages are +$10 per page, and for very old or damaged records we confirm page count and difficulty before you pay.

Who We Serve

Individuals filing family- or employment-based petitions with Latin church records, immigration attorneys, genealogists and citizenship-by-descent applicants, universities and students, and parishes and archives that need English versions of Latin records.
