The USCIS does not necessarily require notarization but may do so, depending on your circumstances. Generally speaking, you don't need notarization if you submit a document for USCIS processing inside US borders. However, you need notarization if you submit a translated document for USCIS to a US embassy outside the country.

A government-authorized notary stamps a notarized translation as an “official witness.” Notarization adds an extra level of security, sometimes required by government institutions. The notarization step also ensures that the translator is who they say they are. Think of it as a certification document.

Legally, a notary can notarize a translated document in a foreign language but might not do so to avoid legal liability. To be safe, it is best to have your document professionally translated beforehand by a professional organization like Rapid Translate.
