- Sign a certification statement attesting that each translation is a true, complete, and accurate rendering of the original
- Preserve original document layout and formatting in the final certified PDF
- Flag inconsistencies, unclear source text, or missing information back to the client or project lead
- Meet defined turnaround windows, including expedited same-day or rush requests when assigned
What we're looking for
- Native or near-native fluency in Serbian and English, with strong command of legal and civil document terminology
- Experience translating official documents such as birth/marriage certificates, court judgments, or academic transcripts
- Familiarity with certified translation standards and attestation requirements for immigration or legal filings
- Meticulous attention to detail, particularly with names, dates, and numerical data
- Ability to work within tight, firm deadlines without sacrificing accuracy
- Comfortable reviewing both digital and scanned/handwritten source documents
Nice to have
- Prior experience with USCIS-related translation certification requirements (e.g., 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3))
