CERTIFIED TRANSLATION
SERVICES IN NEW YORK

Certified Translation Services in New York

New York is one of the most linguistically diverse states in the US, with over 3.8 million foreign-born residents across all 67 counties and one of the highest concentrations of immigrant communities in the nation. Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, and Arabic are spoken by millions across New York City-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Hillsborough, and Orange counties. The New York City USCIS Field Office handles among the highest immigration caseloads in the country, and every foreign-language document submitted — whether for an I-485 adjustment of status, 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 to individuals, law firms, businesses, and students across every New York city and county, starting at $29.95 per page.
