US Court Approves Remote Notarization for Immigration Cases – What It Means for Applicants

The United States has officially approved the use of remote notarization for a wide range of immigration-related legal procedures, marking a major breakthrough for international applicants, law firms, and translation providers. This decision means that individuals applying for visas, green cards, asylum, work permits, and citizenship can now notarize supporting legal documents online from anywhere in the world, without physically visiting a U.S. notary office or consulate.

This development has created significant advantages for applicants, including:

• 👉 Faster Processing: Remote notarization eliminates delays caused by consulate appointments and traditional mail-based authentication.
• 👉 Legal Validity Across States: Notarized digital documents are legally accepted by USCIS and U.S. federal courts, including immigration tribunals.
• 👉 Multilingual Document Support: Birth certificates, diplomas, marriage certificates, employer letters, and affidavits can now be submitted digitally with certified translations, if prepared by accredited legal translators.
• 👉 Secure Authentication: Advanced technologies such as identity verification, biometric checks, and encrypted e-signatures ensure that digital notarizations are legally valid and court-acceptable.

• ✔ Certified translations (English translations required for all foreign-language documents)
