RushTranslate Reviews (2026): Is It the Best Choice for USCIS?
A fact-checked look at RushTranslate’s pricing, speed, and USCIS acceptance — and an honest comparison with CertTranslate, including where RushTranslate is the better pick.
Full disclosure: we run CertTranslate, a certified translation service, so we are one of the options compared here. That is also why we know exactly what makes a USCIS filing get accepted — and we have sourced and dated every number below so you can check our work.
The bottom line
RushTranslate is a legitimate, well-reviewed certified translation service — fast, affordable at $24.95 per page, and widely accepted by USCIS. Its one catch is the billing model: like most competitors, RushTranslate counts a “page” as 250 words, so a text-dense one-page document is billed as two or three. CertTranslate charges the same $24.95 but as a true flat fee with no word cap, which is the main reason to compare the two before you order.
RushTranslate vs Languex vs CertTranslate, side by side
All three are certified, USCIS-focused services at a similar headline price. The real differences are in the billing fine print, the fastest available turnaround, and the remedy if a translation is ever rejected.

Who is RushTranslate?
RushTranslate is a Seattle-based certified translation company and one of the most recognizable names in the space, with over 24,000 public reviews at a 4.8-star average. It offers certified translations in 65+ languages at a flat $24.95 per page, delivered as a signed, stamped PDF and accepted by USCIS, courts, and universities.
Its reputation is built on speed and simplicity: a clean online order flow, 24-hour standard turnaround, unlimited revisions, and optional notarization, e-Apostille, and hard-copy mailing. For most short, standard documents, RushTranslate does exactly what it promises — and does it well.
RushTranslate: the questions buyers actually ask
Is RushTranslate legitimate?
Yes. RushTranslate is an established company with a verifiable business profile, tens of thousands of public reviews, and a transparent ordering process. Its certified translations include a signed Certificate of Accuracy and are routinely accepted by USCIS.
Is RushTranslate accepted by USCIS?
Yes. RushTranslate’s certified translations meet the USCIS standard under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3): a complete English translation plus a signed statement from the translator certifying competency and accuracy. USCIS accepts them like any other compliant certified translation.
Is RushTranslate ATA certified?
RushTranslate works with professional translators and is associated with the American Translators Association (ATA). Note that “ATA membership” is not a government certification — USCIS does not require ATA credentials, only a proper signed certification statement.
How long does RushTranslate take?
Standard turnaround starts at 24 hours. RushTranslate offers an expedited option that cuts that roughly in half (around 12 hours) for an added per-page fee. There is no same-day or 6-hour tier.
How much does RushTranslate cost?
Certified translation is $24.95 per page, where a “page” is defined as 250 words or less, including numbers. Notarization, e-Apostille, expedited delivery, and hard-copy mailing are paid add-ons. A dense one-page document can be billed as two or three pages because of the 250-word rule.
The $24.95 that isn’t always $24.95: the 250-word page
Here is the detail most comparison pages skip. RushTranslate’s own pricing page states that “a page is defined as 250 words or less, including numbers.” So while the headline rate is $24.95, a text-dense document is billed by word count, not by physical page.
A typical birth or marriage certificate packs 300–450 words onto one page. Under the 250-word rule, that single page is billed as two — $49.90 instead of $24.95. A dense academic transcript can climb further. CertTranslate charges the same $24.95, but as a true flat fee: one physical page is one page, whether it holds 50 words or 400.
Move the sliders below to see the difference on a document like yours.
A typical birth or marriage certificate runs 300–450 words on a single page. RushTranslate counts a “page” as 250 words or less, so a dense page is billed as two.
1 page × $24.95 — flat, no word cap
380 words ÷ 250 = 2 billed pages × $24.95
You’d save $24.95 with CertTranslate on this document.

How USCIS actually decides to accept a translation
Acceptance is not about a brand — it is about a rule. Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), any foreign-language document filed with USCIS must include a full English translation and a signed statement in which the translator certifies that the translation is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate. That is the whole requirement.
No vendor — RushTranslate, CertTranslate, or anyone else — can “guarantee” what a USCIS officer decides, because acceptance also depends on the underlying document being correct. What a good service can guarantee is the remedy: if a translation is rejected for a translation-related reason, they fix it free and refund you if it still is not accepted. That promise — not a “100% accepted” slogan — is what the “remedy if rejected” row above is really comparing.
Red flags to check with any certified translation service
Apply these to us, to RushTranslate, and to anyone else you consider.
The hidden 250-word page cap
Most per-page services cap a “page” at 250 words and bill the overflow. Always confirm whether the per-page price is a true flat fee.
Who actually signs the certificate
USCIS needs a signed certification of competency and accuracy. Confirm a real Certificate of Accuracy is included, not sold separately.
Revise-only vs refund
A “guarantee” that only revises (never refunds) — or that excludes most recipients — is weaker than it sounds. Read the remedy terms.
Acceptance is the authority’s call
No vendor controls USCIS. Treat any “100% acceptance guaranteed” as marketing and read what the guarantee actually pays out.
Certified, notarized, sworn, apostille — quick definitions
- Certified translation
- A complete translation plus a signed statement certifying accuracy and translator competency. This is what USCIS requires.
- Notarized translation
- A certified translation where a notary verifies the certifier’s identity. USCIS rarely requires it; some other authorities do.
- Sworn translation
- A translation by a government-authorized “sworn” translator. Common in many countries, but not a U.S. concept.
- Apostille
- An international certification (Hague Convention) that authenticates a public document for use abroad. It authenticates the document, not the translation.
More questions about RushTranslate and the alternatives
Is CertTranslate cheaper than RushTranslate?
No — both are $24.95 per page. The difference is the billing model: CertTranslate does not cap a page at 250 words, so dense documents do not turn into multi-page bills.
What is the fastest RushTranslate can deliver?
About 12 hours with their expedited option. CertTranslate’s Super Rush delivers in roughly 6 hours for an added per-page fee.
Does RushTranslate offer notarization and apostille?
Yes — both are available as paid add-ons, as they are at CertTranslate (notarization +$19.95; e-Apostille available).
Will USCIS accept a RushTranslate translation?
Yes, provided it includes the signed certification USCIS requires under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) — which RushTranslate’s certified translations do.
What happens if my translation is rejected?
RushTranslate revises and may refund, but only for recipients on its “trusted list.” CertTranslate revises free and refunds in full for translation-related rejections by USCIS, courts, or universities.

Compare for yourself before you order
Same $24.95 page rate. The real question is whether your document is dense enough — or your deadline tight enough — for the difference to matter.
RushTranslate is a solid choice. If your documents are short and standard, you’ll be happy. If any page is text-dense — or you need it in under 12 hours — CertTranslate’s no-cap pricing and 6-hour Super Rush are worth a look.
