Why Lancaster Residents Need Certified Translations
Lancaster is one of the more linguistically diverse communities in Pennsylvania, with roughly 36.8% of residents speaking a language other than English at home according to the US Census Bureau. Lancaster has been called 'America's Refugee Capital' – per capita, the city resettles roughly 20 times more refugees than the United States as a whole, with significant Vietnamese, Nepali/Bhutanese, Cuban, Afghan, Syrian, Burmese, Iraqi, and Congolese communities established through Church World Service; Lancaster County is also home to the largest Amish settlement in the world, with a thriving Pennsylvania Dutch (German) speaking population. This creates ongoing demand for certified translation services – for immigration applications routed through the Philadelphia Immigration Court, court proceedings at the Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas, university admissions at Franklin & Marshall College, Millersville University of Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania College of Health Sciences, and employment, licensing, and medical records required by employers and regulators across Pennsylvania.

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 Lancaster County Court of Common Pleas, or applying to Franklin & Marshall College, our translations meet every institutional standard.
