About the role

Verdacert is a US-based certified translation service specializing in MENA-region and other foreign-language documents for USCIS filings, US courts, universities, and medical providers. Every translation is reviewed by a native-speaker linguist before release, and Azerbaijani is one of the additional languages supported alongside our core MENA-region offering. We're looking for a Legal Azerbaijani Translator to join our reviewer network, translating and certifying civil, legal, and academic documents from Azerbaijani into English.

What you'll do

Translate legal and civil documents (birth certificates, marriage records, court documents, academic transcripts, and similar materials) from Azerbaijani into English
Review and edit machine-generated draft translations for accuracy, completeness, and faithful transliteration of names, dates, and numbers
Sign the certification statement attesting that each translation is a true, complete, and accurate rendering of the original, consistent with USCIS requirements under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)
Preserve the original document's layout and formatting in the certified translation
Apply correct transliteration conventions for proper nouns to match filing requirements (e.g., I-130 spelling conventions)
Meet stated turnaround windows, which may include rush or same-day requests

What we're looking for

Native or near-native fluency in Azerbaijani and English
Demonstrated experience translating legal, civil, or official documents
Strong working knowledge of Azerbaijani civil registry, court, and academic document conventions
Meticulous attention to detail, particularly with names, dates, and numerical data
Ability to work independently and meet defined deadlines
Comfort reviewing and correcting AI-generated draft translations rather than always translating from scratch

Nice to have

Prior experience providing certified translations for USCIS, US courts, or similar official bodies
Familiarity with Azerbaijani civil and religious document distinctions
Experience with legal or immigration-related translation work in a US context
