How Our Translation Service Works in Makoko
Getting your documents certified and translated involves three simple steps. First, upload your original document via our encrypted platform. Second, a certified translator prepares the complete translation, preserving all formatting from the original. Third, we issue a signed certification statement and email your completed translation, usually within one business day.
Submitting a document for certified translation is straightforward. You upload a clear scan or photo of your document, specify the language pair, and choose your turnaround speed. Our system routes the job to the appropriate certified linguist in our Lagos-serving network. After translation and internal review, you receive the certified PDF — ready for USCIS, court, or university submission.
USCIS Certified Translations
USCIS does not distinguish between machine translation and low-quality human translation — both are grounds for rejection if they are not properly certified. Our service ensures that your translated documents are prepared by a credentialed human translator and accompanied by the legally required Certification of Accuracy. Clients across Lagos rely on us when their immigration status depends on getting the translation right.
The USCIS Policy Manual specifies that foreign-language documents must be translated by a competent translator who certifies that the translation is accurate. Our certified translators meet this standard and produce translations that match the original document's structure exactly. From Form I-130 petitions to naturalization applications, our certified translations are designed to move your case forward without delays.

Why Hire an ATA Certified Translator?
Not all certified translation services are equal, and in Lagos, the difference is measurable. Some services use machine translation with a human review layer and call it certified. Others use freelancers with no quality oversight. Our service uses credentialed human translators, dual-stage review, and a documented certification process. If you are submitting to USCIS, a court, or a university, the difference matters.
Clients in Makoko who have experienced a USCIS rejection due to translation issues understand the real cost of cutting corners. One rejected application can delay immigration status by six months or more. Our certified translation service is built to prevent exactly that outcome. We follow the same standards that immigration attorneys expect when referring clients to a translation provider.
Certified Translation Prices
Affordable certified translation in Makoko does not mean compromising on quality or compliance. Our pricing reflects the real cost of professional linguistic work — not the inflated rates of downtown translation offices or the unacceptable quality of cheap online services. We believe professional translation should be accessible to everyone, which is why our flat-rate pricing is among the most competitive in Lagos.
Many clients in Makoko ask whether they can save money by using a bilingual friend or an uncertified translator. The answer is straightforward: USCIS does not accept uncertified translations, and using one will result in a rejected application or an RFE. The cost of a professional certified translation — typically $50 to $75 per page — is a small fraction of the cost of a delayed visa or a returned immigration petition.
