Certified Bank Statement Translation
A certified translation of a bank statement costs $24.95 per page, where one page is up to 250 words. A typical order runs 1 to 8 pages and comes to $24.95 to $199.60, delivered in 2 to 3 business days with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, prepared for official use including USCIS filings. Translation is available between English and Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, and Turkish.
Pricing
Exact prices, shown before you pay
One monthly statement usually bills as 1 to 3 pages of 250 words; multi-month sets for I-864 or source-of-funds evidence grow quickly because every transaction line counts. Certified translation is $24.95 per page, so a typical order of 1 to 8 pages comes to $24.95 to $199.60. The exact total is measured from your real document and shown before payment.

Requirements
What reviewers require for a certified bank statement translation
- USCIS requires a full English language translation of any foreign-language document, certified by the translator as complete and accurate, with a certification of competence to translate (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)); this applies to bank statements the same as to civil documents.
- A complete translation covers every transaction row, column header, running balance, footnote, and marginal note; a summary or excerpt does not satisfy the full-translation rule.
- Amounts and currency symbols are reproduced exactly as printed with no currency conversion; for Form I-864 the sponsor states US dollar equivalents on the form itself, not inside the translation.
- All pages of a statement must be present and translated; a statement marked page 1 of 5 that arrives as one page reads as incomplete evidence.
- Bank seals, stamps, and officer signatures are identified in bracketed descriptions and any text inside them is translated.
- Account numbers, dates, and figures are preserved exactly; nothing is redacted or omitted by the translator, because the certification attests to a complete rendering of the source.
- The account holder's name is spelled consistently with the Latin spelling in the applicant's passport so financial evidence links cleanly to the identity documents in the same filing.
- For I-864 asset evidence, USCIS instructions describe bank statements covering the last 12 months, or a statement from a bank officer including a 12-month deposit and withdrawal history and the current balance.
Common reasons translations get rejected
- Translating only the summary or balance page and skipping the transaction table is a partial translation, which does not meet the full-translation requirement and commonly draws an RFE for incomplete evidence.
- Missing pages of a multi-page statement make the evidence incomplete even when the translated pages are perfect.
- Converting or rounding amounts inside the translation changes the source content and undermines the translator's accuracy certification; conversions belong on the form or in a separate note, not in the certified rendering.
- Machine translations or translations without a signed certification statement fail the 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) certification requirement.
- Statements that do not cover the period the receiver asked for, such as the 12-month history described in the I-864 instructions for asset evidence, invite follow-up requests regardless of translation quality.
- Illegible source scans prevent the officer from matching the translation to the original; a clean copy from the bank avoids the problem.
Good to know
Who asks for a translated bank statement
USCIS for Form I-864 and I-864A Affidavit of Support asset evidence, where the instructions describe bank statements covering the last 12 months or a bank officer letter with a 12-month deposit and withdrawal history
USCIS for Form I-134 and I-134A declarations of financial support, including humanitarian parole sponsorship processes
USCIS for Form I-539 extension or change of status filings that document the applicant's ability to fund the stay
USCIS for EB-5 investor petitions (Form I-526E) and related source-of-funds evidence, where foreign bank records are core exhibits
US consulates for nonimmigrant visa interviews (for example F-1 students and B visitors) where proof of funds is presented, and the National Visa Center for immigrant visa financial evidence
US schools and designated school officials issuing Form I-20, which require financial documentation they can read in English

Questions
Common questions
- Does every single transaction really have to be translated?
- Yes. USCIS regulation 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires a full English translation of the document, so every transaction row, header, footnote, and running balance appears in English. Partial translations are a common reason bank statement evidence draws an RFE.
- Will you convert the amounts to US dollars?
- No. A certified translation reproduces the figures and currency exactly as printed. For Form I-864, USCIS expects the sponsor to state US dollar equivalents on the form itself, separate from the translation.
- How many pages will my bank statement count as?
- Pricing is per 250 source words, so a transaction-dense physical page can count as more than one billed page. A typical monthly statement runs 1 to 3 billed pages at 24.95 USD per certified page.
- How many months of statements does USCIS want?
- It depends on the filing. For I-864 asset evidence, the USCIS instructions describe bank statements covering the last 12 months or a bank officer letter with a 12-month deposit and withdrawal history. Other filings, and schools issuing an I-20, often ask for shorter periods, so follow the checklist you were given.
- Can you work from an e-statement PDF or a screenshot from my banking app?
- A certified translation can be produced from any legible copy, and illegible portions are marked as illegible rather than guessed. Whether a screenshot is acceptable as the underlying evidence is decided by the receiving agency, so a full PDF or paper statement from the bank is the safer source.
- Can you leave out or mask my account number?
- No. The signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy attests to a complete rendering, so the translator cannot omit or mask anything. If the receiving agency permits redactions, redact the source document yourself before ordering, and the translation will mirror the redacted source.
- Is a certified translation the same as a bank-certified statement?
- No. A bank-certified statement is the bank attesting the record is genuine. A certified translation is a qualified professional translator attesting the English rendering is complete and accurate. USCIS requires the second whenever the statement is not in English, and some filings call for both.
