A certified translation looks the same as any other legal document translated into another language for its usage or purpose. It is a translation in agreement with accepted legal terms in the language of the country’s customary practice and locality’s constraints. A certified translation for a personal document like a birth or marriage certificate would look similar to the original, only translated. For instance, the translation needs to be accompanied by a certified translation statement or the so-called certificate of accuracy to be accepted by USCIS.
