Criminal proceedings require certified translations of all foreign-language evidence, documents, and records. We provide court-accepted translations for defense, prosecution, and defendants with language barriers.
Certified Translation for Criminal Cases, Evidence, and Proceedings
Criminal courts require certified translations when evidence, witness statements, or documents are in a foreign language. Under the Sixth Amendment, defendants have the right to understand proceedings and materials in their case. Official Translations provides certified translations accepted by state and federal courts, district attorneys, public defenders, and private criminal defense attorneys. Order your criminal court translation today.
We translate police reports, criminal records, witness statements, court filings, indictments, and foreign government records introduced as evidence. For related civil matters arising from criminal proceedings, see our civil litigation translation page. If your case involves immigration consequences, we also handle immigration court translations and USCIS translations for post-conviction relief.
Rush translations are available for time-sensitive court deadlines. All translations include a signed certificate of accuracy and are formatted for court submission. We work directly with defense attorneys, prosecutors, court interpreters, and legal aid organizations. Request a free quote with your document details and court deadline.
