Certified Translation Services New York
Consular birth records, foreign marriage certificates, transcripts and court exhibits arrive from every borough, and each needs a translation an officer or clerk will read without asking a follow-up question.
A named human translator produces the work, a second linguist checks it, and the certified PDF carries that signature, the date and our company stamp.

USCIS and US Court Certified Translations
The same certification standards we apply across the United States, delivered to clients in New York and across New York.
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 New York
New York pushes more foreign-language paperwork through one metro area than most countries do nationally: immigration files, university applications, litigation in two federal districts and a state court system handling millions of cases. None of those offices acts on a document it cannot read.
The languages follow the boroughs. Spanish dominates in Washington Heights and western Queens, Chinese in Flushing and Sunset Park, Russian in Brighton Beach, Bengali in Jackson Heights, with Arabic and French across the Bronx and Harlem.
Certification is the translator's signed statement. It names the translator, the date and our company details, and the same page travels with a court exhibit in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Where an office asks for more, it says so in writing.
