SOC2 Type 2 Secure | 24/7 Live Human Support
Finland is a society built on trust, quality, and extreme attention to detail. Whether you are moving from Helsinki, Espoo, or Tampere, we understand that your documents—from a Virkatodistus (Extract from the Population Register) to a Tutkintotodistus (Degree Certificate)—represent your identity and your life’s achievements.
Translating Finnish for USCIS requires an expert understanding of the Finnish civil registry and the specific terminology used by the Opetushallitus (National Agency for Education). Our native Finnish translators ensure that every official stamp, personal identity code (Henkilötunnus), and legal nuance is perfectly rendered in professional English to match your passport exactly.
We know that even for a tech-savvy Finn, the US immigration bureaucracy can feel unnecessarily complex. While MotaWord uses world-class technology to provide industry-leading speed, we believe that your high-stakes papers deserve more than just an automated process.
MotaWord provides 24/7 live human chat support to ensure you have total clarity. If you have a question about how your surname is transliterated, need to verify a date conversion, or have an urgent request from your attorney, a real person is available to assist you in seconds. We combine the power of high-speed innovation with the personal attention and respect your documents deserve.

It's a great company with professionals who care about customers. They are in touch 24/7. My documents were ready the next day, and in a couple of hours, they had completed all the edits I asked them to make. It was a truly amazing experience!

A certified translation includes a signed statement from the translator or translation service confirming that the translation is complete and accurate. USCIS requires this certification for foreign-language documents. Notarization is not required by USCIS itself, unless specifically requested by another institution.
If any portion of the document (such as handwritten notes, municipal stamps, or specific Finnish-only sections) is not in English, USCIS requires a full certified translation of the entire document to avoid potential delays or RFEs.
