What ATA certification means, when you actually need it, and how to get the right kind of certified translation for your submission.
The American Translators Association (ATA) is the largest professional association of translators and interpreters in the United States. It awards certification to individual translators who pass its exam in a specific language pair and direction.
So an ATA certified translation means a translation completed by an ATA-certified translator. The credential belongs to the translator, not to a document or a company, which is why it is worth asking exactly who will translate your file.
| Certified Translation | ATA-Certified Translator | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Translation with a signed statement of accuracy | Translator holds ATA credential for the language pair |
| Who issues it | Translator or translation company | American Translators Association (to the individual) |
| Usually required? | Yes, by most authorities | Only when specifically requested |
| Can be combined? | Yes, an ATA-certified translator can also provide the signed certificate of accuracy. | |
Immigration agencies such as USCIS generally ask for a full English translation with the translator's certification of competence and accuracy, rather than ATA membership specifically. Always confirm the current rule with your receiving authority.
