About the role

Verdacert provides USCIS-certified translation services, with particular depth in Arabic, Farsi, Dari, Pashto, Urdu, and Turkish, alongside 34+ other supported languages. We're looking for a Legal Mam Translator to join our reviewer network, providing accurate, native-fluency translation and certification support for Mam-language legal and civil documents used in immigration filings, court proceedings, and other official submissions.

What you'll do

Translate legal, civil, and personal documents (such as birth certificates, marriage records, court records, and academic transcripts) between Mam and English
Review and 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 certified translation
Flag ambiguous source content, illegible text, or inconsistencies to the project lead rather than guessing
Meet delivery windows for standard, express, and rush turnaround tiers

What we're looking for

Native or near-native fluency in Mam and professional fluency in English
Demonstrated experience translating legal, civil, or immigration-related documents
Familiarity with the document conventions and civil registry formats of the region(s) where Mam is spoken
Strong attention to detail, especially with names, dates, and numerical data
Ability to work within firm turnaround deadlines, including rush requests
Comfort reviewing and correcting machine-translated drafts rather than translating fully from scratch

Nice to have

Prior experience providing certified translations accepted by USCIS, courts, or academic institutions
Experience with asylum, humanitarian parole, or other immigration case documentation
Familiarity with transliteration standards for names appearing on immigration petitions
