Beyond Words: From Korea to a New Start in the US
Korean official documents often include terminology with specific legal and administrative meanings. Terms related to family registry, nationality, and civil status must be translated precisely to reflect their official context in U.S. immigration and academic reviews.
Accurate translation is especially important when submitting documents for USCIS, as even minor inconsistencies may cause delays or Requests for Evidence (RFEs). Our certified Korean translators ensure that every term, annotation, and registry reference is translated clearly, consistently, and in line with U.S. expectations.
We provide complete translations that include stamps, seals, signatures, handwritten notes, and original formatting.
Korean civil and legal documents follow standardized formats issued by government agencies, courts, and educational institutions. We simplify the process while ensuring each document meets USCIS and institutional review standards.

Awesome customer service and responsible translation
I ordered a translation service a few times here. The customer service team responds to all my questions so quickly and helps me a lot. Also, the translation is accurate and timely. When I googled translation services, so many different companies popped up, just like spam. I tried one company and no one replied to my questions. But Motaword saved me!
