Vietnamese translation: what to know
Vietnamese translations for USCIS are often birth certificates (giấy khai sinh) and marriage records issued in Vietnam, plus older household registration books (sổ hộ khẩu), which Vietnam stopped using at the start of 2023. Every diacritic in a name is kept, and the English version notes the order of family, middle and given names so forms match.
Vietnamese is one of the most spoken Asian languages in the United States, with large communities in Orange County, San Jose, Houston, the Dallas area and Seattle. Northern (Hanoi) and Southern (Saigon) Vietnamese differ in accent and vocabulary, and many families who arrived after 1975 still use older Southern terms that newer arrivals do not. AMS matches the interpreter to the speaker.
Vietnamese uses the Latin alphabet with diacritics, and the marks change the meaning of a word, so names and terms must be written with them intact. Family names come first: in Nguyen Van An, Nguyen is the family name and An the given name, and in Vietnamese he is addressed as Mr. An.
What "certified" means for a translation
There is no government license for translators in the United States. A certified translation is a complete translation with a signed statement that it is accurate and that the translator is competent in both languages. That is exactly what USCIS requires under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), and it is what most courts, schools and insurers accept, though some courts want the translator's statement sworn.
A notarized translation is a different thing: the notary confirms who signed the certificate, not the translation itself. Some consulates, schools and foreign agencies ask for it; USCIS does not.
Every AMS translation is done by a professional translator and reviewed by a second linguist before delivery. Names, dates, document numbers and amounts are checked against the original line by line, because those are the errors that get a filing rejected.
Most documents of up to 10 pages are delivered the same day, often within 4 hours; 1-hour rush delivery is available.
