- Sign certification statements attesting to the accuracy of each translation in accordance with 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)
- Preserve original document layout and formatting in the certified translation
- Flag discrepancies, ambiguities, or errors found in source documents
- Meet delivery deadlines ranging from standard to rush turnaround windows
What we're looking for
- Native or near-native fluency in Khmer and strong command of professional/legal English
- Demonstrated experience translating legal, civil, or immigration documents
- Familiarity with Cambodian civil registry documents, court records, and academic credentialing conventions
- Strong attention to detail, particularly with proper nouns, transliteration, and numerical data
- Ability to work independently and meet firm deadlines
- Comfortable signing formal certification statements and being named as the responsible reviewer on delivered documents
Nice to have
- Prior experience with USCIS-related document certification or immigration law contexts
- Experience with Cambodian regional dialects or provincial document variants
- Background in legal or paralegal translation work
