Why Allentown Residents Need Certified Translations
Allentown is one of the more linguistically diverse communities in Pennsylvania, with roughly 43.2% of residents speaking a language other than English at home according to the US Census Bureau. Allentown has the largest Puerto Rican and Dominican population per capita of any Northeast US city outside New York and New Jersey; it also hosts one of Pennsylvania's largest Syrian and Lebanese communities, and is majority-Hispanic (approximately 54% per 2020 Census). This creates ongoing demand for certified translation services – for immigration applications routed through the Philadelphia Immigration Court, court proceedings at the Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas, university admissions at Muhlenberg College, Cedar Crest College, Penn State Lehigh Valley, and employment, licensing, and medical records required by employers and regulators across Pennsylvania.
Official Translations provides USCIS-accepted certified translations for individuals, law firms, immigration attorneys, universities, and employers throughout Allentown and Lehigh 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) and by all official US institutions. Whether you are filing with the Philadelphia Immigration Court, submitting to the Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas, or applying to Muhlenberg College, our translations meet every institutional standard.
