Certified criminal background check translation for USCIS
A criminal background (police clearance) certificate is required in most immigration cases — even when there is no record at all. Because it usually has a short validity (90 to 180 days), speed matters. Swornly translates your state and federal certificates with USCIS-accepted certification, from $20 per page.

Who needs this translation
Commonly required for green cards, Adjustment of Status, immigrant visas, and naturalization. Applicants are usually asked for both the state and federal certificate; both need certified translation.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to translate both the state and federal certificate?
In most cases, yes — USCIS typically requires both. We translate each with the required certification.
Is the short validity a problem?
That's why we prioritize speed: since these documents are often valid for 90 to 180 days, we deliver fast so you can file within the window.
What if I have no record at all?
A 'no record' certificate must still be translated and certified — USCIS requires the translated document even with a clean history.
