Certified Translation
Services in Manhattan
USCIS-accepted certified translations for immigration, courts, universities, and employers – from $29.95 per page. Serving all Manhattan-Dade neighborhoods with fast turnaround.
Manhattan is one of the most linguistically diverse cities in the United States. According to the US Census, over 70% of New York County residents speak a language other than English at home, with Spanish, Haitian Creole, and Portuguese among the most common. This extraordinary diversity creates constant demand for certified translation services – for immigration applications filed with USCIS, proceedings at Manhattan-Dade courts, university admissions at UM, FIU, and MDC, and employment documentation across every industry.
Official Translations provides USCIS-accepted certified translations for individuals, law firms, immigration attorneys, universities, and employers throughout Manhattan and New York 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 Manhattan USCIS Field Office, submitting to Manhattan-Dade Circuit Court, or applying to New York International University, our translations meet every institutional standard.
