Tagalog to English Certified Translation
Native Tagalog-Speaking Translators. 100% USCIS Acceptance Guaranteed.
If you are submitting Tagalog-language documents to USCIS, a U.S. consulate, 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 Tagalog to English translation built for exactly this purpose, backed by a 100% USCIS acceptance guarantee and standard 24-hour turnaround.
We regularly translate the documents that come up again and again in Philippine immigration filings — PSA (Philippine Statistics Authority) birth and marriage certificates, CENOMAR documents, and academic records — for individuals, attorneys, and universities alike.

Why Choose USCIS Translations for Tagalog Translation
Every Tagalog translator on our team is a native or native-level speaker with hands-on experience translating Philippine civil, academic, and legal documents, so names, dates, and official terminology carry over correctly instead of being approximated. Each translation ships with a signed certificate of 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.

Our Certified Tagalog Translation Process
Four straightforward steps from document upload to certified PDF delivery.
01
Upload Your Document
Upload a clear photo or scan of your Philippine document through our secure portal.
02
Translator Assignment
We assign a translator experienced with that specific document type — civil, academic, or legal.
03
Accuracy Review
A second linguist reviews the draft for accuracy, formatting, and completeness against the source.
04
Certified PDF Delivered
You receive a certified PDF (with a printed, signed copy available on request) ready to attach to your filing.
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.

Standard certified Tagalog translations are delivered within 24–48 hours, starting at $18 per page. Expedited service is available at $28 per page for same-day delivery. Exact per-page pricing is confirmed before you pay, so there is no guessing before your deadline.

Philippine Documents & Regional Language Notes
Most Philippine civil documents we translate are issued by the PSA (Philippine Statistics Authority), including birth certificates, marriage certificates, and CENOMAR (Certificate of No Marriage) records, each with its own standardized security-paper format. Tagalog is the basis for the Filipino national language, but the Philippines has many regional languages — if your document is in Cebuano, Ilocano, or another Philippine language rather than Tagalog, let us know so we can match you with the right translator.
Who We Serve
Individuals filing family- or employment-based immigration petitions, immigration attorneys assembling case files, applicants responding to a USCIS Request for Evidence (RFE), students and universities handling academic credential evaluation (Transcript of Records, diplomas), and fiancé(e) or spousal visa applicants needing CENOMAR translation.

Frequently Asked Questions
A certified Tagalog translation is a complete, accurate rendering of your document into English, accompanied by a signed statement from the translator or translation company attesting to their competency and the accuracy of the work — this signed statement is what makes it “certified.”
Yes. USCIS requires that any document in a foreign language be submitted with a full English translation and the translator’s certification of accuracy, per 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Every order we prepare for USCIS use meets this standard.
No. Certification is a signed statement from the translator about accuracy and competence; notarization adds a notary public’s seal verifying the translator’s identity and signature. USCIS asks only for certification, not notarization.
For USCIS filings, certified is enough — notarization is not required. Some courts, universities, or foreign consulates do ask for notarization in addition to certification, so check your specific instructions before you order.
