Certified Polish Translation Services for $19.90 per Page

USCIS requires that any document in Polish be submitted with:

1. A full English translation of the entire document, including stamps, seals, signatures and annotations.
2. A signed certification stating that the translation is complete and accurate, and that it was prepared by a translator competent to translate from Polish into English.

Every Translations Certified Polish to English translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy that meets both requirements, plus notarization at no extra cost.

Which version of a civil record to translate: Polish civil registry offices issue full copies and abridged copies of birth, marriage and death records. USCIS generally expects the full version, and the U.S. Department of State’s Reciprocity Schedule lists which documents are acceptable for Poland. Check it before ordering a translation.

English to Polish Translation for Use in Poland

For official procedures in Poland, such as confirming Polish citizenship or transcribing a U.S. birth or marriage certificate into the Polish civil registry, offices usually require a translation by a Polish sworn translator. A certified translation from Translations Certified works where the receiving office accepts certified translations, such as many employers, universities and private institutions, so check with the office before ordering.

Apostille first, translation second: If your U.S. document needs an apostille, get it before ordering the translation, so the apostille can be translated as part of the document. In the United States, state-issued documents get their apostille from the Secretary of State of the issuing state, and federal documents from the U.S. Department of State.

Common Problems with Polish Documents

• An abridged copy when the full record is needed. Abridged copies leave out some details, such as later annotations. Check which version your case requires before ordering.
• Female surnames in a different form. Many Polish surnames change form for women (for example, Kowalska instead of Kowalski). Add how every name appears in the passport in the order notes, so the translation stays consistent with your other documents.
• Names written without Polish characters. Letters such as ł, ś or ż are often dropped in English documents. Use your passport spelling as the reference when you place your order.
• A certified translation where a sworn translation is required. Official offices in Poland usually require Polish sworn translators. Confirm what the office accepts before ordering.
• Missing pages, stamps or annotations. Upload every page, front and back, so the translation covers the complete document.
