Maryland has the third-largest foreign-born population of any US state. With over 0.6 million immigrants and a USCIS Field Office in Baltimore handling one of the highest caseloads in the country, demand for certified translation services is among the highest in the nation.
Maryland is one of the most linguistically diverse states in the US, with over 0.6 million foreign-born residents across all 67 counties and one of the highest concentrations of immigrant communities in the nation. Spanish, Amharic, Portuguese, and Arabic are spoken by millions across Baltimore-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Hillsborough, and Orange counties. The Baltimore 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 Maryland city and county, starting at $29.95 per page.
If you are filing an immigration petition, applying for a Maryland driver's license, registering a foreign marriage or birth, or submitting documents to a Maryland court, you need a certified translation that is accepted by the relevant authority.

Our translations meet USCIS requirements under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) and are accepted by all Maryland state courts, the Baltimore and Gaithersburg USCIS field offices, the Maryland Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, and every government office statewide. Translations are delivered by email as a certified PDF. Most orders of 1–3 pages are ready within 24 hours. If a hard copy is required, we ship via regular mail with free shipping.

Maryland's role as a gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean means many Maryland-based companies regularly handle documents in Spanish, Portuguese, Amharic, and other languages. We serve HR departments managing international hires, legal teams handling foreign contract review, compliance officers submitting foreign regulatory documents, and operations teams supporting cross-border business. Common business translation needs in Maryland include employment records and foreign background checks, corporate certificates and articles of incorporation, financial statements for lenders or investors, medical records for workers' compensation cases, and contracts requiring certified translation for Maryland courts or state agencies. We work with businesses of all sizes across Baltimore, Rockville, Gaithersburg, Silver Spring, and Frederick, with volume pricing available for ongoing needs.
Maryland's public university system is one of the largest in the US, and international students and transfer applicants routinely need certified translations of academic transcripts, diplomas, and language proficiency certificates. Our translations are accepted by all Maryland public universities — including the University of Maryland (UF) in Gainesville, Maryland State University (FSU) in Annapolis, University of Baltimore (UM), Maryland International University (FIU), University of Central Maryland (UCF) in Gaithersburg, University of South Maryland (USF) in Rockville, and all 28 Maryland College System campuses. We also translate for professional licensing applications to the Maryland Department of Health (physicians, nurses, dentists, and allied health professionals), the Maryland Board of Bar Examiners, and other state licensing boards. Every academic and professional translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy and is formatted to meet the requirements of Maryland admissions offices and licensing boards.
