USCIS, school and driver license paperwork
For immigration filings, 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires a full English translation of any foreign-language document, certified by the translator as complete and accurate, together with the translator’s statement of competence. Our certificate of accuracy addresses both.
Salt Lake Community College requires that all foreign transcripts be translated into English and, for transfer credit, evaluated by one of its approved evaluation services with a course-by-course or comprehensive report. The college notes that a professional translation is not required, though an evaluation service may set a stricter rule of its own.
The Utah Driver License Division requires foreign documents to be translated to English by a certified translator, word for word, and it publishes an Approved Document Translator List. Look at that list before you pay for a translation meant for a license or ID application, and bring the foreign original along with the translation.
Getting a Utah apostille from West Valley City
The Lieutenant Governor’s Authentications office in the State Capitol, 350 North State Street, Suite 220, Salt Lake City, issues every Utah apostille. You can book an in-person appointment there ($20 per document), mail documents with the request form ($5 per document, typically 1 to 3 business days after receipt), or order through the state’s online platform.
Birth certificates and county marriage records go in as original public documents. A translation is different: it enters as a notarized document, and the office rejects notarizations from other states. For that reason we hire a notary commissioned in Utah whenever a translator’s statement needs notarizing for a Utah apostille. The office itself does not require translations, so confirm the need with the foreign authority.
