The document that’s easy to overlook
Visa applications, USCIS filings, school enrollment, and financial verification often turn on one small requirement: proving where you live, in certified English. A utility bill, bank statement, lease, or official letter in another language won’t be accepted on its own — the reviewing office needs a complete certified translation it can rely on.
What’s included
- A full English translation of your proof-of-address document — utility bill, bank statement, lease, or official government letter
- A signed certificate of accuracy for official submission
- Priced from $26.00 per page

One less thing to worry about
Your name and address are translated exactly as they appear, so the document matches the rest of your application. Not sure whether your document qualifies, or submitting several documents together? Request a quote — most quote requests are answered the same business day.
Where proof of address gets requested
It is rarely the main document in a filing, which is exactly why it gets left to the last minute. It shows up in visa and consular applications, residency and registration processes, bank and financial account opening, school district enrollment where attendance zones depend on address, and immigration filings that ask you to evidence where you actually live.
Why a partial translation fails
The most common mistake with these documents is translating only the useful line. A certified translation certifies that the English version is complete - so a bank statement translated down to just the name and address is not a certified translation of that statement, and a reviewer who can see the original has more content than the translation will treat it as deficient.
That means the transaction lines, the header, the account identifiers, the issuing institution’s details, and any stamps all get translated. It also means these documents are often longer than clients expect, which is worth knowing before a deadline rather than after.
- Utility bills carry meter data, tariff codes, and municipal references that all form part of the document.
- Bank statements are multi-page and itemised; the whole statement is the document, not the address block.
- Lease agreements are contracts, with terms and signatures that belong in the translation.
- Registration certificates often carry the stamps and reference numbers a consulate uses to verify authenticity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a special language pair?
The base price covers our standard languages: Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, and German. A special language pair is any other language — for example Chinese, Arabic, Vietnamese, Russian, Ukrainian, Armenian, Haitian Creole, Tagalog, Swahili, or Amharic. We support 300+ languages, so if yours isn't on the standard list, just select the Special language pair add-on at checkout. Not sure which applies? Contact us and we'll confirm before you pay.
What documents count as proof of address?
Commonly a utility bill, bank statement, lease, or official government letter showing your name and address. If you're unsure whether your document will be accepted, ask the requesting office, and send it to us for a complete certified translation.
What's included?
A full English translation with a signed certificate of accuracy for official submission.
How fast is delivery?
Typically a few business days; rush options are available on request.
Which documents count as proof of address?
Typically a utility bill, bank or credit card statement, lease or tenancy agreement, municipal registration certificate, or an official letter showing your name at the address. If you are unsure which of your documents the receiving office will accept, send what you have and we will tell you before you pay.
Do you translate the whole bank statement or only the address?
The whole document. A partial translation is not a certified translation - the certification attests that the English version is complete, so extracting only the address line would invalidate it and is a common reason a filing is rejected.
Does the translation need to be notarized?
USCIS requires a *certified* translation - the translator's signed statement of accuracy - not a notarized one. A notary only verifies the identity of the person signing; it says nothing about accuracy. If the office receiving your proof of address document does require notarization, add the notarization option when you order.
Is there a USCIS-approved translator list?
No. USCIS does not license or pre-approve translators and no "approved translator" list exists. What matters is that the certification meets the standard in 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3): a complete English translation plus a signed statement that it is accurate and that the translator is competent to translate.
Do you translate the stamps, seals, and handwritten notes?
Yes, and it matters more than people expect. The translation has to be *complete* - every element of the proof of address document is accounted for, including registrar stamps, seals, and marginal annotations. An omitted stamp is one of the most common reasons a filing comes back.
Can I use Google Translate instead?
No. Machine translation output is not a certified translation, has no competent translator attesting to it, and reliably mishandles seals, stamps, and name transliteration. It is not appropriate for an official filing.
How do you keep names spelled the same as on my other documents?
Transliteration is handled deliberately and consistently across a document set. Tell us at ordering how any name must appear in English and we match it, so every document in your filing reads the same way to a reviewer rather than looking like a mismatch.
