Document Translation Services

Civil records, legal, medical, financial, technical and marketing — in 326 languages.

Most document translation projects fail in the same handful of ways. A birth certificate translation that USCIS rejects because of a missing certification. A contract that loses a key liability clause in translation. A medical record where a dosage decimal moves a place. A technical manual where the warning labels weren’t translated at all.

Prism Linguistics translates documents for US clients in 326 languages, with every project handled by a native human linguist and reviewed by a second bilingual editor before delivery. Civil documents, legal contracts, medical files, academic transcripts, financial reports, technical manuals and marketing copy — we accept your file in whatever native format you use (DOCX, PDF, IDML, XLIFF, HTML, JSON, CSV, scanned images) and return it in the same format, layout preserved. Certified translations are issued with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy in the format USCIS, US courts and universities expect.

How a Document Translation Project Runs

Same workflow on every project, whether it’s a one-page birth certificate or a 500-page contract bundle.

1. Intake & Quote

Send the document by email or secure upload. NDA signed within the business hour if needed. Binding written quote and turnaround returned within 60 minutes.

2. Specialist Matching

Translator matched by language and sector — legal, medical, USCIS, academic, financial, technical — with documented prior experience in that document type.

3. TEP Cycle

Translation by the native-speaker linguist, independent Editing by a second bilingual reviewer, then Proofreading for formatting, terminology and name transliteration.

4. Delivery & Free Revisions

Digital PDF or your source format, with certification, notarisation and hard-copy mailing on request. Free revisions if a US institution requests a change.

Standards We Work To

How we keep document translation defensible for USCIS officers, court clerks and auditors.

Three-Stage TEP Quality Workflow

Translation, independent Editing by a second bilingual linguist, then Proofreading. Three sets of trained eyes on every certified project — no exceptions for "easy" documents.

USCIS-Accepted Certification

Certified translations carry a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy on company letterhead with the translator’s signature, our corporate seal and the date — the format USCIS officers, US federal and state courts and university registrars expect to see.

Layout Fidelity & Terminology Consistency

Source layout preserved on every page. Existing client glossaries imported at kick-off; new term decisions documented and reused across future projects and document sets.

Confidentiality by Default

NDAs signed on request and standard for legal, medical, financial and government work. Secure document transfer, restricted-access teams, deletion from active systems 30 days after delivery.
