Please let me know if this is legit for my husband's birth certificates and our marriage certificate, to be submitted with the I-130 packet: I am fully competent to translate the documents, but am not a certified translator. Will it be acceptable to translate the documents myself, and then for each (or for all together) draft a statement saying I am capable of translating and that the translations are true and accurate, and have that statement notarized? Shall I notarize the statement claiming the validity of the translations, and/or the translations themselves? Thank you,
e.

Certifing for USCIS is just making a note at the bottom of the translation Certifying that you are competent to translate.
QUOTE
Please submit certified translations for all foreign language documents. The translator must certify that s/he is competent to translate and that the translation is accurate.
The certification format should include the certifier's name, signature, address, and date of certification. A suggested format is:
Certification by Translator
I [typed name], certify that I am fluent (conversant) in the English and ________ languages, and that the above/attached document is an accurate translation of the document attached entitled ______________________________.
