About the role

Verdacert is a USCIS-certified translation company serving immigrants, attorneys, and institutions with fast, native-speaker-reviewed document translations for immigration filings, court proceedings, university applications, and medical records. We're building out language coverage and are looking for a Legal Burmese Translator to review and certify translations of civil, legal, and immigration documents from Burmese into English.

What you'll do

Translate and review legal and civil documents (birth certificates, marriage records, court documents, academic transcripts, and immigration-related paperwork) from Burmese into English
Edit machine-generated first-draft translations for accuracy, completeness, and faithful transliteration of names and terms
Sign certification statements attesting to the accuracy and completeness of each translation, consistent with USCIS requirements under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)
Preserve original document layout and formatting in the translated output
Flag ambiguous source content, illegible text, or inconsistencies to the project lead rather than guessing
Meet defined turnaround windows (standard, express, and rush) without compromising accuracy

What we're looking for

Native or near-native fluency in Burmese and English, with strong legal and administrative vocabulary in both
Demonstrated experience translating official, legal, or immigration-related documents
Familiarity with Burmese civil registry documents, court records, or academic credentials
Meticulous attention to detail, especially with names, dates, and numerical data
Ability to work independently against firm deadlines
Comfort signing a formal certification statement attesting to translation accuracy

Nice to have

Prior experience with USCIS-related translation certification requirements
Experience translating for asylum, humanitarian parole, or refugee resettlement cases
Familiarity with regional Burmese dialects or minority language variants common in immigration filings
