Certified Latvian Translation for USCIS (12-Hour Turnaround)
Submitting Latvian documents from Latvia with a USCIS petition? Immigration paperwork is stressful when one mistranslated stamp can delay a case. MotaWord provides USCIS-compliant certified Latvian to English translation for official translation for immigration and education, including Latvian birth certificate translation for USCIS and Latvian police certificate translation.
Native translators translate every visible detail with accurate formatting and certification. Upload clear scans online and keep your originals for your records.
In Latvian official paperwork, the word apliecība often appears in document titles, meaning an official certificate issued by a recognized authority. For immigration, this can include civil registry records such as birth and marriage certificates that USCIS expects to match the source document precisely.
In our experience with USCIS submissions, Latvian records follow consistent administrative fields, including issuing authority details, register numbers, and standardized layouts that must be preserved in translation. We often see older Latvian records that include Russian alongside Latvian, and we translate all visible text exactly as shown. We translate stamps, seals, signatures, issuing authorities, and formatting consistently, and we certify every visible element so your submission is USCIS-ready.
