Rochester is the third-largest city in Minnesota and the international medical capital of the Upper Midwest, anchored by the Mayo Clinic which serves patients from over 130 countries. Roughly 17% of Rochester residents speak a language other than English at home, with Arabic, Mandarin, Spanish, Russian, and Somali among the most common – reflecting Mayo Clinic's international physician and patient community. This diversity creates constant demand for official translation services – for immigration applications routed through the St. Paul USCIS Field Office in Minneapolis, proceedings at the Minnesota Third Judicial District Court (Olmsted County) and the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota, and admissions at the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine, the University of Minnesota Rochester, and Winona State University–Rochester.

Official Translations provides USCIS-accepted certified translations for individuals, law firms, immigration attorneys, universities, and employers throughout Rochester and Olmsted 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 through the St. Paul USCIS Field Office at 250 Marquette Avenue in Minneapolis, submitting evidence to the District of Minnesota, or applying to the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine, our translations meet every institutional standard.
