Why Lexington Residents Need Certified Translations
Lexington is a growing hub of language diversity in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Roughly 11% of Lexington residents were born outside the United States, and Lexington is one of Kentucky's primary refugee resettlement sites, where Kentucky Refugee Ministries reports roughly 196 languages spoken and about 23% of residents speak a language other than English at home, with notable Congolese, Rwandan, Somali, Nepali/Bhutanese, Syrian/Iraqi, Japanese and Hispanic communities. The most commonly requested translation languages in the city are Spanish, Swahili and Arabic — driven by immigration filings, Fayette County courts, admissions at University of Kentucky, and employment documentation for major Lexington employers.
Official Translations provides USCIS-accepted certified translations for individuals, law firms, immigration attorneys, universities and employers throughout Lexington and Fayette County. Every translation is completed by a professional translator and accompanied by a signed Certificate of Accuracy — the format required by USCIS under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), by the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Kentucky, by Fayette County Circuit Court, and by University of Kentucky, Transylvania University, Bluegrass CTC. Whether you are filing at the USCIS Louisville Field Office, submitting to a Fayette County court, or applying to a Lexington-area university, our translations meet every institutional standard.
