Why Erie Residents Need Certified Translations

Erie has a steadily growing foreign-born population – roughly 6.8% of residents per the latest US Census estimates, with about 13.2% of households speaking a language other than English at home. Erie has the highest per-capita refugee resettlement rate in Pennsylvania, with large Iraqi, Bhutanese-Nepali, Syrian, Somali, Eritrean, and Congolese populations resettled through the International Institute of Erie and Catholic Charities This creates ongoing demand for certified translation services – for immigration applications routed through the Philadelphia Immigration Court, court proceedings at the Erie County Court of Common Pleas, university admissions at Penn State Behrend, Mercyhurst University, Gannon University, 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 Erie and Erie 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 Erie County Court of Common Pleas, or applying to Penn State Behrend, our translations meet every institutional standard.
