    Certified Translation of Residence Permit


    Moving to the USA is a life changing decision and offers opportunities for personal and professional growth. But getting legal residency is a process. A residence permit is a document that gives you access to key benefits such as work authorization and social services. To apply successfully, you must submit official documents that will need translated, certified, and possibly legalized in English. They must meet local legal requirements.

    Typically, to obtain a US residency permit, you will need to provide:

    • A valid government issued ID such as a passport or photo driving license from your home country.
    • Birth certificate to verify identity and nationality.
    • An official document, usually from the police records department, showing you have no criminal history.

    Additionally you may need:

    • Proof of financial support or employment.
    • Medical examination results.
    • Completed residence permit application form.

    Translations of documents must be accurate and certified to avoid delays or rejections. Send your application documents to the professionals at Espresso Translations, and we will ensure all the legal requirements are met.

    What is a Residence Permit in the USA?


    A residence permit in the USA, also known as a Green Card, allows foreign nationals to live and work in the country permanently. It is proof of your legal status and gives you access to:

    • Work in the USA without a separate work permit.
    • Public benefits like healthcare and education.
    • Pathway to US citizenship after meeting residency requirements.

    Green Cards can be obtained through:

    • Family Sponsorship: Immediate relatives of US citizens.
    • Employment or professional residency permit for skilled workers.
    • Diversity Visa Lottery: For applicants from underrepresented countries.
    • Asylum or Refugee Status: For individuals seeking protection.

    Why Do You Need a Translated Residence Permit?


    When applying for US residency all documents in a foreign language must be translated into English. These translations must meet official standards as US government agencies like USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) require certified translations for all non-English documents.

    Certified translations mean:

    • Compliance with legal requirements.
    • Accuracy in translating important details like names, dates and terminology.
    • Faster processing by immigration authorities.

    For example a birth certificate must be translated by a professional who can attest to its accuracy. Without this step your application may be delayed or rejected.

    Who Can Translate My Residence Permit?


    Only certified translators with experience in legal document translations should translate your residence permit. A certified translation service means:

    • Accurate translation that mirrors the original document.
    • Certification that meets USCIS requirements.
    • Professionalism from translators who are familiar with immigration terminology.

    We have experts in over 100 languages including Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Arabic, German, Turkish and Russian. We specialise in translating residence permits, legal documents and other immigration related paperwork. We also provide sworn translations for official use.

    Is a Certified Translation Required for a Residence Permit?


    Yes, certified translations are required for US residence permit applications. USCIS requires an affidavit from the translator that the translation is accurate and complete. This certification gives legal weight to your documents and ensures they are accepted without question. For example translating a Saudi residence permit into English requires strict adherence to legal terminology and formatting. Without certification the translation has no legal validity and is likely to be rejected.

    How Much Does It Cost to Translate a Residence Permit?


    Costs for residency permit translation services depend on: 

    • Language Pair: Common languages like Spanish cost less than less common languages like Turkish.
    • Document Length: More pages take more time and effort.
    • Complexity: Technical or legal documents cost more.

    Our rates are competitive starting at $20 per page for standard documents. Additional costs for notarization or sworn translations may apply. You can upload your document and get a free quote with all the detailed information you need before you order online.
