Certified Translation Services in California

California is the most linguistically diverse state in the US, with over 10.6 million foreign-born residents and more than 220 languages spoken across its 58 counties. Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Korean, Armenian, and Hindi are spoken by millions across Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, San Diego, the Central Valley, and the Inland Empire. The USCIS California Service Center and field offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and Sacramento handle the highest immigration caseload in the country. Every foreign-language document submitted — whether for an I-485, a naturalization application, or a family petition — must be accompanied by a certified translation meeting the requirements of 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Official Translations provides USCIS-accepted certified translations starting at $29.95 per page.
