I need to translate copy of my birth certificate, marriage certificate. Should I pay a translator for these or if I make the translation myself that will be valid ? This would be for upcoming I-140/I-485 filling.

I have my degree and transcripts translated by certified translator - OK.

I did the translation myself for the H1B documents and that worked well. If I can do the translation myself I am aware I need to put the note below.

TRANSLATOR’S CERTIFICATE

I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THE FOLLOWING IS A TRUE AND ACCURATE
TRANSLATION OF THE <DOCUMENT_NAME> OF <PERSON NAME(S)> AND
THAT I AM FLUENT IN THE ENGLISH AND <FOREIGN> LANGUAGE.
