If so, what is the going rate for translating from English into a foreign language...?

Thanks! :thumbs:

We really don't have a certified translator system in this country as we don't have certified copiers nor personal ID's. If you feel fluent in both languages, do it yourself.

Just put this on the bottom of the page or on a separate sheet as the cover from the USCIS.

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 ______________________________.

Ok, thanks...

Yeah, i think we want someone else to do... to make it look more "official" for the Moroccan consulate... Besides, our Arabic is not the same as "official" Arabic, and we would probably make a mistake... In fact, i'm sure we'd mess it up...

We are leaving NYC soon, and just want to get it translated for future reference... might not be easy to stumble across an Arabic translator in a smaller city...

Just wondering how much is normal for a marriage certificate... It's not like there is much to translate...

Actually, Nick, there are certified translation services throughout the US:

National Association of Credential Evaluation Services (NACES) and the American Translators Association (ATA).

I would also check out this service - they normally do education credentials, but they do provide translating services:

Ha, would have to check with my wife on that since she is both a medical translator and interpreter. She attends all the meetings, attends seminars, and classes. When I glanced through their literature, really no official certification existed, but that was about two years ago. They were trying to set up a certification procedure, but to the best of my knowledge, haven't done so as yet. I get a bit weary like that site you posted that calls themselves certified translators, exactly who is doing the certification? Will ask though to learn if things have been changed.

Not sure if the OP wants to translate an English marriage certificate to Arabic or vice-versa, but if from Arabic to English, may be cheaper for them to get married here, kind of like a verification ceremony.

Any Arabic speakers here?

Hi, thanks...

Sorry, got lost in the shuffle...

It would be from English to Arabic. We don't need it for USCIS stuff... just for when we go back to Morocco, or if we need to do any correspondence by mail from here in the meantime. We know a guy who will do it... but he's asking for $50.... i don't know if that is a lot or not...

Tell him if he doesn't do it for $20 and a falafel, you're reporting him to DHS.

We were gonna have my hubby's birth paper translated here (Arabic to English) and they wanted an outragous price, like $150 or more if I recall. We just did it in Cairo, so much cheaper. I would imagine any law firm in Morocco can translate English to Arabic too. Good luck!

Yes, would be cheaper in Morocco!

Apparently we have to send our marriage certificate over there from here... to get it validated or some such craziness. The consulate in NYC won't validate it for us... al hemar!
