About the role

Verdacert is a US-based certified translation company specializing in high-stakes document translation for immigration, court, university, and medical use, with a particular focus on the MENA region and a growing roster of additional languages, including Romanian. We're looking for a Legal Romanian Translator to join our reviewer network and provide certified, native-speaker-quality translations of civil and legal documents from Romanian into English (and potentially vice versa) for use in USCIS filings, US courts, and other official proceedings.

What you'll do

Translate Romanian-language legal and civil documents into English, including birth certificates, marriage records, court documents, police clearances, academic transcripts, and related filings
Review and edit machine-generated first-draft translations for accuracy, completeness, and fidelity to the source document
Apply correct transliteration conventions for names, dates, and official terminology consistent with Romanian civil registry and legal document standards
Sign certification statements attesting to the accuracy and completeness of each translation, in line with USCIS regulatory requirements (8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3))
Preserve original document layout and formatting in the final translated deliverable
Meet defined turnaround windows, which may include rush or same-day requests depending on order type

What we're looking for

Native or near-native fluency in Romanian and English
Demonstrated experience translating legal, civil, or official documents
Strong working knowledge of Romanian legal and bureaucratic terminology (civil registries, court filings, notarial language, etc.)
Meticulous attention to detail, especially with names, dates, and numerical data
Ability to work within strict deadlines across multiple concurrent documents
Comfort reviewing and editing AI-generated draft translations rather than always translating from scratch

Nice to have

Prior experience with certified translations for USCIS, immigration attorneys, or US courts
Familiarity with certification and notarization requirements for official document translation
Experience translating academic transcripts, medical records, or professional licensing documents
Background as a sworn or authorized translator in Romania or another jurisdiction
