1. U.S. universities and student visas: Universities usually ask for proof of funds before issuing the Form I-20, and consular officers may review the same documents at the visa interview. Statements that are not in English often need a translation.
2. USCIS: Foreign bank statements are submitted as evidence in many cases, such as joint accounts that show a genuine marriage or records that trace the lawful source of investment funds. USCIS requires a certified English translation of any document that is not in English.
3. Visa applications at U.S. consulates: Visitor, student and other visa applicants often bring bank statements to show financial ties and resources.
4. Mortgages and loans: U.S. lenders usually require English translations of foreign bank statements used to document assets or income.
5. Courts and attorneys: Divorce, probate and business disputes often rely on foreign bank records as evidence.

What USCIS Requires for a Bank Statement Translation

USCIS requires that any bank statement in a foreign language be submitted with:

• A full English translation of every page submitted, including the account holder, account details, transaction descriptions, balances, bank stamps and signatures.
• A signed certification stating that the translation is complete and accurate, and that it was prepared by a translator competent to translate from that language into English.

Every Translations Certified bank statement translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy that meets both requirements.

Notarization: USCIS does not require notarized translations. Translations Certified includes notarization at no extra cost because many universities, consulates and lenders do ask for it.

Common Bank Statement Translation Problems

• Expecting amounts in U.S. dollars. A certified translation keeps every amount in the original currency, exactly as it appears in the statement. Any currency conversion is done separately by the receiving institution or by you.
• Translating more pages than needed. Long statements add up quickly. Some institutions accept a one-page bank letter confirming your balance instead of months of statements, so check what the receiving office asks for before ordering.
• Unofficial printouts. Some offices only accept statements with the bank’s stamp or official letterhead. Confirm the format before ordering a translation.
• Missing pages. If you submit a statement, every page of it must be translated, including summary and legend pages.
• Names that don’t match other documents. A translation must reflect the original exactly. If the account holder’s name appears differently in your passport, add a note when you place your order.
