Minneapolis is the largest city in Minnesota and home to the largest Somali-American community in the United States, alongside major Hmong, Latino, and East African populations. Roughly 20% of Minneapolis residents speak a language other than English at home, with Somali, Spanish, Hmong, Oromo, and Amharic among the most common. This diversity creates constant demand for official translation services – for immigration applications routed through the St. Paul USCIS Field Office in downtown Minneapolis and the Bloomington Immigration Court, proceedings at the Minnesota Fourth Judicial District Court (Hennepin County) and the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota – Minneapolis Division, and admissions at the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities, Augsburg University, Hamline University, and Minneapolis College.

Official Translations provides USCIS-accepted certified translations for individuals, law firms, immigration attorneys, universities, and employers throughout Minneapolis and Hennepin County. Every translation is completed by a professional translator and accompanied by a signed Certificate of Accuracy – the format required by USCIS and all official US institutions. Whether you are filing at the St. Paul USCIS Field Office at 250 Marquette Avenue in downtown Minneapolis, submitting evidence to the District of Minnesota – Minneapolis Division, or applying to the University of Minnesota, our translations meet every institutional standard.
