Translation in more than 150 languages
LinguaVox works in more than 150 languages. Many U.S. requests involve Spanish to English translation for USCIS, but we also handle certified, technical, legal, medical, academic, website and business translation projects in many other language combinations.
For USCIS and other U.S. procedures, clients often need complete English translations from Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Korean, Russian, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, Hindi, Urdu, Farsi or Ukrainian.
Documents, languages and delivery format
Each project is reviewed according to the document, language, intended use and required delivery format. For certified translations, we also check whether PDF delivery is sufficient or whether the receiving institution asks for a notarized or mailed version.
When Police records are translated for USCIS
USCIS and other immigration filings often require documents in English. When the source document is in Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Russian, French, Portuguese, Haitian Creole, Korean, Vietnamese, Farsi, Urdu or another language, the translation must be complete and clear enough for review. The certification does not replace the original document. It confirms that the English version is complete and accurate to the best of the translator or provider’s knowledge.
For police records, small details can matter. A seal, amendment, handwritten annotation, previous married name, issuing authority or document number may be relevant for the file. LinguaVox treats these elements as part of the document, not as decoration. If a section is illegible, damaged or not visible in the scan, the project manager can ask for a clearer image before the translation starts.
What to send for a a police record translation
A clear scan or photo is usually enough for quotation. The full page must be visible, including edges, stamps, signatures and back pages when they contain official information. If the document has several pages, attachments or amendments, all pages should be sent together so the project manager can check the scope before confirming the price.
Police certificates and criminal records may include court references, national registry data, fingerprints, official seals, expiration dates or statements that no record exists. The wording must be handled carefully because small differences can affect how the document is interpreted.
Certified PDF, notarized option and postal delivery
The standard delivery package is a PDF. It normally includes the translated text and a certification page with signature, company stamp and provider details. This is the format many clients use for online filings and for attorneys who upload the file into a case system.
Notarization is different. A notarized translation involves signature before a U.S. notary and may require postal delivery of the physical document. LinguaVox can coordinate that additional step through its contact in Michigan when the receiving institution asks for it. It should not be ordered by default if a certified PDF is enough.
Other translation needs in the United States
The same document may appear in different contexts. Police records are often requested in immigration, visa, residency, employment, licensing, adoption or court-other procedures. The correct delivery format depends on the receiving institution, the language, the document type and whether certification or notarization is required.
The translation does not change the legal value of the original. It only provides a complete English version with certification. If the original also needs apostille or legalization, that is a separate step.
Review, certification and coordination
LinguaVox combines project management, translator selection, revision when required and final checking before delivery. Multilingual projects can use glossaries, translation memories and style instructions to keep terminology consistent.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a certified translation for police and criminal record translation for uscis?
Many immigration, academic and legal procedures in the United States require a complete English translation with a signed certificate of accuracy. The receiving institution decides the exact requirement, so the safest approach is to check the filing instructions before ordering. If the requirement is unclear, LinguaVox can review the document and explain whether standard certified PDF delivery is likely to be enough.
Can LinguaVox provide notarized translations in the United States?
Yes. Standard certified translations are usually delivered by PDF with a certificate, signature and company stamp. If a court, attorney, university or agency requires notarization, LinguaVox can arrange signature before a U.S. notary as an additional service with postal delivery. This option normally costs more and takes longer than standard certified delivery.
Can I request the service online?
Yes. You can send scanned documents or clear photos online from any U.S. state. A project manager reviews the files, confirms the language pair, format and certification needs, and sends a quote before the translation starts. For official procedures, it is useful to tell us where the translation will be submitted.
Do you translate documents into English for USCIS?
Yes. LinguaVox prepares complete English translations for USCIS filings and similar immigration procedures. The translation can include a certification statement confirming completeness, accuracy and linguistic competence. Common files include birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, academic records, police records and supporting identity documents.
Which documents are commonly translated?
Common documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, academic records, diplomas, police records, passports, ID documents, affidavits and financial documents. Business clients also request contracts, technical manuals, medical documentation, patent files, websites and corporate reports. The workflow changes depending on the document type, certification requirement and final use.
How do I know which LinguaVox page to use?
For immigration documents, USCIS translations are usually the best starting point. If an institution only asks for a certified English translation, use certified translation services. For Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Portuguese, Haitian Creole and other language-specific requests, the language pages explain common documents and delivery options.
