Professional translation services are paramount for immigration lawyers, who routinely deal with foreign language documents and non-English-speaking clients. One of the most essential components to the immigration process is secondary evidence. Secondary evidence includes such things as a birth certificate, degrees, health records and employment qualifications. Due to the nature of the immigration process, more often than not these pieces of secondary evidence are in a foreign language, and, therefore, require translation.
In order to succeed in an immigration case - at least in the United States - all these essential foreign-language documents must be filed with an accompanying English language translation. In order to ensure the translation from the foreign language is accurate, a certification that the translation is true and accurate must be included.
