Showing all questions

Getting Started

How does Jukelingo work?
Upload your document on our Upload page → we extract and clean the text → you review/confirm → choose delivery speed and pay on the same page → we translate and format a bilingual DOCX (original + translation) and provide a downloadable link. A certification page is included, and you can use our friend/colleague sign-off option or a professional translator signature when required. Check Fit Checker to confirm we’re a match for your use case.
What documents do you translate?
Common: passports, driver’s licenses, birth/marriage certificates, diplomas, transcripts, police clearances, bank statements, pay stubs, tax docs, utility bills, visas, IDs, travel itineraries, medical records (patient-submitted), and more. If text is readable, we can usually process it. Use Fit Checker for edge cases.

USCIS (Immigration)

Will USCIS accept Jukelingo translations?
Our output is built to satisfy USCIS requirements for certified translations. Each delivery includes a certification page; you can select a bilingual friend/colleague to sign the accuracy statement or use a professional translator signature if preferred. We back USCIS submissions with a 100% money-back or free edits policy if a rejection cites translation issues. (Note: USCIS does not require notary for most translations; your case specifics may vary.)
How fast can I get a USCIS-ready translation?
Choose Instant or 24-hour delivery at checkout. Most single-page IDs complete in minutes once you’ve confirmed the extracted text. Complex docs may take longer if formatting is intricate or if you request revisions.

DMV / Driver’s License

Is Jukelingo accepted for DMV driver’s license services?
Jukelingo translations are used successfully in 40+ states that follow general “certified translation” language. Some strict jurisdictions (commonly cited: CA, FL, NY) may require specific associations or processes. Use our Fit Checker to verify requirements for your state and purpose before purchase.
Can a bilingual friend sign the certification for DMV?
In many states, yes—if the DMV accepts standard certified translations with an accuracy statement. Where rules are stricter, you may need a professional translator signature or other credentials. Check Fit Checker for guidance per state.

International Travel

Can I use Jukelingo for visas, universities, or airline requests?
Yes—our bilingual DOCX with certification is suitable for most general travel/academic purposes. Some embassies/universities may require notarization/apostille or association memberships. Use Fit Checker to validate your destination’s requirements.
Can Jukelingo help with translations for non-English speaking agencies?
Yes, Jukelingo provides bilingual translations (original + English or other languages) formatted for foreign embassies, consulates, or agencies. Check Fit Checker for specific language and certification requirements.

Certification & Legality

Who can sign the certification page?
You choose: (1) a bilingual friend/colleague who attests to accuracy, or (2) a professional translator signature when required by a specific agency. We include the certification page in your file by default.
Do I need notarization or an apostille?
Most USCIS and many DMV uses don’t require notarization. Some schools, courts, or foreign consulates do. Check Fit Checker and the requesting agency’s instructions. If you need notarization, we’ll help route you to a compliant option.
How does Jukelingo ensure my translation is ready for official use?
Jukelingo provides a bilingual DOCX with your original and translated text, formatted clearly for agencies like USCIS, DMVs, or universities. Every delivery includes a certification page for a bilingual friend or professional translator to sign, ensuring compliance with most official requirements. Our Fit Checker helps confirm your document meets specific agency standards.

Delivery & Formats

What will I receive?
You get a bilingual DOCX (original + translated text, side-by-side or line-by-line depending on document type) with a translator certification page appended. We provide a direct download link on the Thank-You page. DOCX lets you make edits if your signer needs adjustments.
How fast is delivery?
Instant and 24-hour options are available at checkout. Single-page IDs are typically ready within minutes after confirmation; multi-page or complex formats can take longer.
What if my document has complex formatting or multiple pages?
Jukelingo handles multi-page or complex documents (e.g., legal contracts, detailed transcripts) with precision. We preserve formatting where possible and provide a bilingual DOCX for clarity. Complex docs may take slightly longer than single-page IDs, but you can choose Instant or 24-hour delivery. Contact support@jukelingo.com for bulk orders or highly specialized formats.
Can I use Jukelingo for urgent deadlines, like same-day visa submissions?
Yes! Our Instant delivery option is perfect for urgent needs, often completing single-page translations (e.g., IDs, passports) within minutes after you confirm the text. For same-day visa submissions, select Instant at checkout and use our Fit Checker to ensure compliance with your agency’s requirements.
How do I know if my document is eligible for Instant delivery?
Single-page documents like IDs, passports, or birth certificates are typically eligible for Instant delivery, completing within minutes after text confirmation. Multi-page or complex documents may require 24-hour delivery. Use Fit Checker to confirm eligibility.

Pricing & Refunds

What are the prices and guarantees?
We’re built to be the fastest and most affordable certified translation option. See current plans on Pricing. For USCIS, we offer 100% money-back or free edits if a rejection cites translation issues. For other agencies, we’ll work with you to adjust formatting or certification to meet stated requirements.
Why is Jukelingo more affordable than traditional translation agencies?
Jukelingo saves you up to 50% compared to traditional agencies by streamlining the translation process and offering flexible certification options, like using a bilingual friend’s signature. Our efficient workflow and focus on user-reviewed accuracy reduce overhead costs while maintaining quality for USCIS, DMVs, and other agencies. See Pricing for current rates.
How does Jukelingo’s Fit Checker help me avoid rejections?
Our Fit Checker tool lets you input your agency (e.g., USCIS, Texas DMV, university) and document type to verify if Jukelingo’s translations meet specific requirements. It flags potential issues, like the need for a professional translator signature or notarization, helping you avoid costly rejections before you start.

Privacy & Security

How does Jukelingo protect my data?
We follow strong security practices and support CCPA/GDPR principles. Files are uploaded via secure endpoints and processed with strict access controls. For medical documents (patient-submitted), we provide a separate flow and tools configured for heightened privacy. See Privacy Policy for details.

Troubleshooting & Revisions

I paid but don’t see my download link. What do I do?
Go to your Thank-You page with your session link (typically auto-redirected after payment). If it’s missing, contact support@jukelingo.com with your email and approximate payment time—we’ll restore the link fast.
Can I request edits or change the certification signer?
Yes. DOCX is editable. If you need a different signer (friend vs. professional translator) or formatting tweaks for a specific agency, we’ll help you adjust.
What support does Jukelingo offer if my agency has unique requirements?
If your agency (e.g., DMV, university) has specific formatting or certification needs, contact support@jukelingo.com. We’ll provide tailored guidance or adjustments to meet requirements, often at no extra cost.
