Legal Romanian Translator

Verdacert is a US-based certified translation company specializing in high-stakes document translation for immigration, court, university, and medical use, in more than 100 languages including Romanian. We're looking for a Legal Romanian Translator to join our reviewer network and provide certified, native-speaker-quality translations of civil and legal documents from Romanian into English (and potentially vice versa) for use in USCIS filings, US courts, and other official proceedings.

What you'll do

• Translate Romanian-language legal and civil documents into English, including birth certificates, marriage records, court documents, police clearances, academic transcripts, and related filings
• Review and edit machine-generated first-draft translations for accuracy, completeness, and fidelity to the source document
• Apply correct transliteration conventions for names, dates, and official terminology consistent with Romanian civil registry and legal document standards
• Sign certification statements attesting to the accuracy and completeness of each translation, in line with USCIS regulatory requirements (8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3))
• Preserve original document layout and formatting in the final translated deliverable
• Meet defined turnaround windows, which may include rush or same-day requests depending on order type

What we're looking for

• Native or near-native fluency in Romanian and English
• Demonstrated experience translating legal, civil, or official documents
• Strong working knowledge of Romanian legal and bureaucratic terminology (civil registries, court filings, notarial language, etc.)
• Meticulous attention to detail, especially with names, dates, and numerical data
• Ability to work within strict deadlines across multiple concurrent documents
• Comfort reviewing and editing AI-generated draft translations rather than always translating from scratch

Nice to have

• Prior experience with certified translations for USCIS, immigration attorneys, or US courts
• Familiarity with certification and notarization requirements for official document translation
• Experience translating academic transcripts, medical records, or professional licensing documents
• Background as a sworn or authorized translator in Romania or another jurisdiction
