CERTIFIED TRANSLATION
SERVICES IN PENNSYLVANIA

Certified Translation Services in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania is one of the most linguistically diverse states in the US, with over 1.1 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 Philadelphia-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Hillsborough, and Orange counties. The Philadelphia 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 Pennsylvania city and county, starting at $29.95 per page.

Common business translation needs in Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania courts or state agencies. We work with businesses of all sizes across Philadelphia, Allentown, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, and Erie, with volume pricing available for ongoing needs.
