Certification of Translation Accuracy for Portuguese Documents
Certification of translation accuracy comes as a signed Certificate of Accuracy with every certified Portuguese translation at $19 a page, delivered within 24 hours. It is the part USCIS actually reads, and it is included on every order at no extra cost.
What the certification of translation accuracy is
It is a signed statement, called a Certificate of Accuracy, that travels with the finished English translation. In it the translator states that the translation is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate from Portuguese to English. That statement is what 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) asks for, and it is the part a USCIS officer reads to accept your document.
What the certificate includes
For immigration law firm orders, each certificate carries the firm's matter reference in a field separate from its verification number. The QR check confirms company issuance only.
Every certificate names the two languages, confirms the translation is a complete and accurate rendering of the original, and carries the date along with the translator’s printed name, signature, and contact details. It is included with every order, never billed as an add-on. You can see exactly what one looks like, field by field, on the annotated sample.
Why the certification, not a stamp, is what USCIS wants
USCIS asks for a certified translation, which means the full English translation plus this signed certification. It does not ask for notarization, an apostille on the translation, or a sworn (juramentado) translator. The difference trips up almost everyone, so we lay it out in notarized vs certified translation and sworn vs certified translation, and the whole rule is in USCIS translation requirements in plain English.

Your translation is handled and signed personally by Ivy, a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, and it comes with the signed Certificate of Accuracy USCIS requires under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3).
Common questions
Is the certification of translation accuracy the same as a notarization?
No. The certification is the translator's signed statement that the English is complete and accurate. A notary only witnesses who signed a page and says nothing about the translation, and USCIS does not ask for one. See notarized vs certified translation.
Does the certificate cost extra?
No. The signed Certificate of Accuracy is included with every certified Portuguese translation at $19 a page, delivered within 24 hours. You never pay separately for the certification itself.
Who signs the certification?
Ivy signs every certificate herself, by name, as a native Portuguese speaker competent to translate from Portuguese to English. USCIS does not require an ATA badge or a court-appointed translator, only a signed statement from someone competent, which is what the rule asks for.
What does the certificate actually say?
That the translation is a complete and accurate rendering of the original document, the languages involved, the date, and the name, signature, and contact details of the translator. You can see exactly what one looks like on the annotated sample.
