Certified Swahili passport translation for USCIS.

Passports issued by Swahili-speaking jurisdictions are among the most-translated civil documents in US uscis filings. Translation of foreign passport pages — biodata, visa pages, entry stamps — for USCIS, court, and adjustment-of-status filings.

Swahili is the most widely spoken language in East and Central Africa and an official language of Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and the African Union. Verdacert translates Swahili civil status records, Tanzanian and Kenyan birth and marriage certificates, court documents, refugee documents from East African camps, and academic transcripts from across the region. Verdacert's reviewer pool covers Standard (Tanzanian) Swahili, Kenyan Swahili, Congolese Swahili, with country-specific document conventions from Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and beyond.

Modern Swahili is written in a Latin-based alphabet and uses the Gregorian calendar. Civil documents from Tanzania and Kenya are commonly bilingual with English; Congolese Swahili documents are commonly bilingual with French. Verdacert reconciles bilingual sources into a single English certified translation and notes regional document conventions where they matter for US filings.

USCIS requires that any non-English document submitted in support of an immigration petition be accompanied by a full English translation, plus a signed statement from a competent translator attesting that the translation is complete and accurate. Verdacert's certification statement is drafted to meet this requirement exactly. The applicable standard is 8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3).

For passport translations specifically, our reviewers focus on multiple visa pages in different languages and stamp impressions partially illegible. The AI draft is calibrated to surface uncertainty rather than guess, so the reviewer always knows where to spend their attention.

Every translation we deliver includes a signed certification statement, a faithful transcription of every field on the source, descriptions of all seals and stamps, and explicit [illegible] markers anywhere the source is unreadable rather than a guess. The reviewer signs the certification under their own name.
