USCIS and US Court Certified Translations
The same certification standards we apply across the United States, delivered to clients in Minneapolis and across Minnesota.
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 Minneapolis
The Twin Cities hold the largest Somali community in the United States, and the paperwork that follows it is mostly civil. Birth entries from Mogadishu and Hargeisa arrive beside marriage records from Nairobi registries and school certificates that were never printed in English.
Medical device makers and insurers employ a multilingual workforce across the metro, so hospital credential files, nursing diplomas and corporate reference letters arrive in Amharic, Oromo or Vietnamese next to the immigration documents. Hmong families in St. Paul and Brooklyn Park reach the same offices through community clinics.
Certification is the translator signed statement rather than a stamp from a public official: one page names the linguist, the date and our company, and that page is what a CGFNS reviewer or a USCIS officer in Minnesota checks against the English text.

Certified translation FAQs for Minneapolis
Ten questions clients in Minnesota ask before ordering a certified translation.
Scans of every page plus the name of the receiving office are enough to quote. A fixed price and a delivery date arrive by email, often inside 30 minutes.
Yes. The officer looks for a complete English rendering plus a signed, dated statement from the translator, the certification that 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) defines.
Yes. Nursing licenses, physician diplomas and CGFNS packets from Somali, Ethiopian and Vietnamese applicants are handled with the issuing body named on every page.
One document begins at $54, then $0.12 per word going into English and $0.14 per word out of English once the first 400 words are passed.
Somali and Spanish lead, with Amharic and Oromo in Cedar Riverside, Vietnamese along University Avenue, and Chinese and Arabic from university and clinic staff.
Usually yes. Files confirmed before 4pm Eastern on a weekday return as a PDF the same day, and anything later starts the next business day.
No. Legible scans by email are enough, so families in Plymouth, Eagan and Brooklyn Park never travel with irreplaceable documents.
Yes, if an agency demands paper. The set goes by USPS tracked mail and postage is quoted before payment is taken, though most filings stay digital.
Yes. Twin Cities records, Ethiopian university transcripts and Somali secondary certificates keep course names, marks and credit units as the school recorded them, which WES confirms on review.
A written objection inside 90 days gets the file corrected at no cost, and the terms of use explain that route for every order.
