Certified Spanish to English Translation for USCIS Guide
Is your Spanish paperwork going to USCIS too? Read our USCIS guide to certified Spanish to English translation. It covers formatting rules and the most common challenges.
Have a carnet de vacunación or a Mexican Cartilla Nacional de Salud that needs to be in English? We produce certified Spanish to English translations of immunization records for the Form I-693 medical exam, school registration, and job onboarding. Spanish to English orders are $24.50 per page.
Take a photo of your record and upload it. You see the exact cost and delivery time right away, with no commitment. Our linguists render each vacuna, dosis, and fecha in English, delivery can take as little as 12 hours, and digital notarization costs nothing extra. Have a question at 2 a.m.? A real person answers on live chat, around the clock.
More than 26,000 translators work on MotaWord, so a Spanish linguist can start on your carnet soon after you order. Placing the order takes a few clicks, and your record moves through four stages:
Place your order any time of day or night. Photograph the carnet, cartilla, or clinic printout with your phone, or upload a scan, and a free instant quote with no strings attached shows your price. Confirm that Spanish was recognized as the source language and that English is set as the target.
We assign linguists who know both the Spanish to English pair and medical terminology. Each vacuna, dosis, and fecha is rendered exactly as written, and abbreviations such as SRP or DPT receive their standard US English names. Handwritten doses, rubber stamps, and clinic seals are part of the translation, never left out.
A signed certificate of accuracy comes attached to your translation, and digital notarization is free. Need a correction or have a quick question? Message our support team on live chat, day or night.
Placing an order opens your own MotaWord client dashboard. From there you track each translation, check order status, download the English version of your carnet along with your invoices, and message our team on live chat about any project. Take a tour of the MotaWord client dashboard and its features.
A translated Spanish record can be rejected over one small detail: SRP left untranslated, 03/04 read as March 4, or a clinic stamp that never made it into English. Each of these is checked on your order.

Vaccine records from Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Spain come in many formats. Whether yours is going to a civil surgeon, a school, an employer, or a USCIS filing, we translate it, including:
Unsure of the official name of your record? Upload it as it is, and our translators will take it from there.
Need a vaccination record translated from a language other than Spanish? We translate immunization records in the languages below, and many more, with the same certification and no-cost digital notarization. See every record type and option on our vaccination record translation page.
A Spanish vaccine card often lists a CURP, a home address, and a child's full name. MotaWord is SOC 2 Type II certified, and HIPAA requirements are built into how the platform works. Learn what our SOC 2 Type II certification means for your files.
See how our HIPAA-compliant process protects sensitive records. Files move over encrypted connections, and no translator works on our platform without first signing an NDA. Clinics and law firms that need a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) can request one.
MotaWord also provides Academic Evaluation and Expert Opinion Letter services. See how expert opinion letters support USCIS petitions. Our platform can handle your certified Spanish translations and academic evaluation together at the quote stage. See our certified Spanish translation services. All you need to do is start an academic evaluation order and also select certified translation for your academic files, such as your diplomas or transcripts. If your diplomas, transcripts, certificates, or supporting documents are not in English, the system will pick up on that and give you the option to have them translated.
No. Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), any foreign-language document sent to USCIS needs a complete English translation and a translator's certification of accuracy. The civil surgeon who completes your Form I-693 looks at your vaccine history, so your carnet needs a certified English version. Order a certified USCIS translation of your carnet.
The civil surgeon checks the vaccines the CDC requires for your age, such as MMR, Td or Tdap, polio, hepatitis B, varicella, and seasonal flu, and records each dose on Form I-693. That is why every dose on your carnet de vacunación or cartilla has to be readable in English. Read our complete guide to Form I-693 and the USCIS medical exam.
Yes. Cartilla de vacunación, carnet de vacunación, and Mexico's Cartilla Nacional de Salud all serve as an immunization record. See our guide to how vaccination records are translated. Each one becomes a certified English vaccination record.
Yes. We translate Mexico's Cartilla Nacional de Salud, the older Cartilla Nacional de Vacunación, and clinic printouts from IMSS or ISSSTE. Each vaccine gets its English name, and dates are written out so nobody misreads them.
Each abbreviation gets its English equivalent next to the original. SRP (sarampión, rubéola, parotiditis) is MMR. SR (sarampión, rubéola) is MR. DPT is DTP. Your civil surgeon or school nurse can match every line to the original card.
USCIS accepts certified translations without notarization, although some schools and employers request it. Find out how notarized and certified translations differ. Every MotaWord order includes digital notarization for free, and a mailed notarized hard copy starts at $35 for US addresses.
Spanish names usually carry two surnames, and both appear exactly as written on the original. Read our complete guide to certified Spanish translation. Spanish records also put the day first, so 03/04/2020 means 3 April, and your translation writes the month out so nobody misreads a dose date.
Upload all pages, even the ones with only a stamp. Handwritten doses, stamps, and seals are all translated. When a handwritten entry is unreadable, the translation labels it illegible rather than guessing. Get a free, instant quote for your carnet.
Delivery can take as little as 12 hours, and corrections never cost extra. Spanish to English orders are $24.50 per page, and our team answers on live chat at any hour. Read more about certified Spanish translation at MotaWord.
