Our adoption translation service handlesย certified translations for adoption documents, decrees, court orders, and any United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) papers. Important personal documents for the child such as the translation of birth certificate, placement order, and adoption assessment are translated by a native speaker of the target language, fluent in the source language. The translation is then certified according to the specific requirements of each case, for legal compliance.
We provide certified, notarized, legalized, and sworn translations for all legal documents and legal proceedings. Each adoption document translation is certified in some way and we work to ensure you get your adoption documents translated correctly for the relevant authority.

What are adoption documents?
The documents required for adoption vary depending on the situation. However, generally, the following documents will be needed:
- Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) checkย
- Medical report from GP
- Personal references
- Prospective adopters reportย
If you are adopting from another country the document requirements may be different from your home country. In the USA a child must be under 18 years old when an adoption application is submitted and they cannot be or have ever been married or in a civil partnership. For the adoption to proceed both birth parents must consent unless they cannot be found, are unable to consent due to mental incapacity or the child would be at risk if not adopted. To adopt an individual must be at least 21 years old, there is no requirement regarding marital status. However different rules apply for private adoptions or adopting a child in care.
U.S. citizenship is not required for adoption but you must have a permanent residence in the United States and have lived there for at least a year before starting the adoption process.
Our translation services cover various documents needed for adoption purposes. All our certified adoption services can be used for official use but only the requesting authority can determine what type of translation service is required, e.g. certified adoption translation, sworn, legalized, or apostilled.

Why do you need an adoption certified translation?
When adopting a child from abroad you may need to provide legal translations of documents to legalize the adoption. These typically relate to the childโs identity, family background, and all relevant paperwork in the adoption process. You also need to find out the type of translation accepted by the country where the adoption is taking place. To adopt a child internationally you should first check the USCIS website or a voluntary adoption agency that can help with overseas adoptions.
If you adopt a child from another country you may need to legalize the adoption in your own country which will require translating the adoption decree if the languages differ. In the future, your adopted child may need a translated copy of their adoption certificates for identification, passport applications, or other legal purposes. Language barriers can add another layer of stress to the adoption process, but Espresso Translations has translated thousands of adoption documents and is familiar with all USCIS adoption requirements.

Family adoption documentation, whether in the USA or abroad, has to be beyond reproach. This also applies to the translation process. Applicants must provide accurate translations of any necessary paperwork such as identity documents, medical reports, and police certificates.
When adopting children from anotherย country, you will need to provide accurate translations of any paperwork that is not in the official language of that country. If you are living in the USA, but were originally a foreign national, you will needย certified translations of your own documentsย if they are not in English. This could include your birth certificate, passport, or marriage certificate.

How much do adoption document translation services cost?
Certified translations cost $30 and are accepted by the Department of State, USCIS applications, and many foreign government entities.
Sworn translations cost $50 and may be requested if you are dealing with a civil law country. This type of translation is accompanied by a sworn statement which attests to the true and accurate nature of the translation.
This kind of translation is not deemed necessary in the USA but may be needed for overseas adoption. It is carried out by a sworn translator who affixes an affidavit to the translation and swears an oath in front of a court or public official that the translated document is an accurate and truthful representation of the source text.
You may be asked to supply a notarized translation which is often required for legal documents, agreements, and court proceedings such as adoption cases. When a translated document is notarized, the notary public adds their signature and stamp or seal to it. This type of translation may be required by some U.S.-based embassies. Notarized translations cost $90 due to the requirement for a third party.
If you are presenting official documents outside of the USA, you can get an apostille translation to verify that the document is authentic, if the requesting country is also a signatory to the Hague Convention. On occasion, you may also be asked to have the apostille certificate translated. An apostille translation, also called a legalized translation, costs $90.
The cost of adoption document translation services will depend on several factors including:
- Word count of the document(s)
- Required formatting
- Language complexity and legal terminology
- Language pair;ย e.g. rare or unusual foreign languages require a specialized translator
- Required delivery time; i.e. expedited delivery will cost more
- Translation of any seals or stamps on the documents
- Hard copies can be mailed out for a small fee

How long does it take to translate adoption documents?
