USCIS and US Court Certified Translations
The same certification standards we apply across the United States, delivered to clients in Philadelphia and across Pennsylvania.
USCIS & Immigration Certification
Used for green card, visa, citizenship and family applications where a foreign-language document has to be filed in English. Each certified translation carries a statement signed by the translator who produced it, which is what a USCIS officer reads.
- The translator's full name, signature and the date of the translation.
- A statement that the translation is complete and accurate, with our company details.
- Every page, including stamps, seals and any reverse side, with nothing summarized.
Court-Ready Filings
For state and federal filings, depositions, judgments and exhibits where a foreign-language document is part of the record. Every court sets its own rule on the translator's declaration, so tell us the court and we prepare the wording it expects.
- Translator declaration: in the form your court requires, signed and dated as a separate page.
- Clause, paragraph and exhibit references kept to match the bundle index.
- The source pages supplied alongside, so the two versions can be compared in the filing.

Certified translations in Philadelphia
Philadelphia hosts two credential bodies that foreign medical graduates deal with for years: ECFMG for physician certification and CGFNS for nursing. A diploma translated here may be read by a clinical reviewer long before it reaches a hospital, so course titles and clinical hours have to be exact.
The Eastern District of Pennsylvania carries a docket of immigration and commercial cases, and the clerk reading a filing depends on the certified statement rather than the Spanish or Arabic original it describes. Signature and date are checked as closely as the wording.
Spanish from the northeast neighborhoods, Chinese from Chinatown, Vietnamese from South Philadelphia, Russian from the far northeast and Portuguese from the Brazilian businesses along Castor Avenue all pass the same review before a degree or a civil record is used.
