Certified Chinese Translation Services
Certified translation of Chinese documents in both Simplified (mainland China) and Traditional (Taiwan, Hong Kong) characters. We translate 出生医学证明, hukou, diplomas, and business contracts with accurate name romanization matching your passport — critical for USCIS filings and credential evaluation.
Why Chinese Documents Need Specialized Translators
Our Chinese translators distinguish between Simplified Chinese (简体) for mainland PRC documents and Traditional Chinese (繁體) for documents from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. They handle the complexities of red-seal (印章) authentication, hukou household registers, PRC notarial certificates, and Taiwan's unique family court document formats — ensuring correct character rendering and name romanization that matches passport Pinyin or Wade-Giles spellings.
From a single PRC birth certificate for an I-130 family petition to a full set of Taiwanese academic transcripts for university admission or an H-1B employment packet with credential evaluation, our Chinese translation team handles every document type with character-perfect accuracy.
Signed Certificate of Accuracy included with every translation — accepted by USCIS, courts, and universities
24-hour turnaround for most certified document translations — same-day rush available
Every project undergoes dual-review quality assurance by a second independent linguist
Why Chinese Translation Requires Expertise
Chinese presents unique linguistic challenges that machine translation and non-specialist translators consistently fail to handle correctly.
Simplified vs. Traditional Characters
Documents from mainland China use Simplified Chinese (简体), while Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau use Traditional Chinese (繁體). Using the wrong character set invalidates translations for official purposes. Our translators always match the correct script.
Logographic System & Context
Chinese characters convey meaning through pictographic and ideographic components, not phonetics. The same character can have different meanings depending on context, and legal terminology uses highly specialized character combinations.
Name Romanization
Chinese names must be romanized using the correct system — Pinyin for mainland China, Wade-Giles or other systems for Taiwan. USCIS requires names to match passport romanization exactly.
Chop/Seal Authentication
Chinese official documents use red seals (印章) instead of signatures. Translators must identify and describe these seals accurately, as they serve as the legal authentication for the document.
Machine vs. Professional Translation
See why Google Translate and AI tools can't replace certified human translators for legal documents. A single mistranslated term can delay your case or invalidate your filing.
“兹证明该文件经公证处公证，具有法律效力。”
“It is hereby proved that the document has been notarized by the notary office and has legal effect.”
“This is to certify that this document has been notarized by the Notarial Office and is legally valid and enforceable.”

Certified & Notarized Chinese Translation for Immigration
USCIS, immigration courts, and state agencies require certified translations of all foreign-language documents. Our Chinese translations meet every federal and state requirement.
Certified Translation
Every Chinese translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy — a sworn statement by the translator attesting that the translation is complete and accurate. This is the minimum requirement for USCIS filings, court submissions, and academic credential evaluations (WES, ECE, NACES members).
Notarized Translation
A notarized translation adds a notary public’s verification that the translator’s signature is authentic. Some state courts, foreign consulates, and government agencies require notarization in addition to certification. We provide notarized Chinese translations with same-day availability.
Apostille Services
For Chinese documents being used internationally, an apostille certifies their authenticity under the Hague Convention. We coordinate apostille services with the Secretary of State’s office, providing a complete package: certified translation + notarization + apostille — ready for international legal use.
