USCIS-accepted certified translations for immigration, courts, universities, and employers — from $29.95 per page. Serving all Rochester and Monroe County neighborhoods with fast turnaround.
Rochester is one of the most linguistically diverse cities in the United States. According to the US Census, over 35% of Rochester residents speak a language other than English at home, with Spanish, Polish, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), and Arabic among the most common. This diversity creates constant demand for official translation services — for immigration applications filed at the Rochester USCIS Field Office, proceedings at the Monroe County Circuit Court, university admissions at URochester, University of Rochester, RIT, and Nazareth University, and employment documentation across every industry.
Official Translations provides USCIS-accepted certified translations for individuals, law firms, immigration attorneys, universities, and employers throughout Rochester and Monroe 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 Rochester USCIS Field Office at 101 W Congress Parkway, submitting to the Monroe County Circuit Court, or applying to the University of New York at Rochester, our translations meet every institutional standard.
