Philadelphia is home to one of the largest Puerto Rican populations on the U.S. mainland (over 130,000 residents) and has significant Chinese, Vietnamese, Dominican, and West African (Liberian) immigrant communities per ACS 2022 This creates ongoing demand for certified translation services – for immigration applications routed through the Philadelphia Immigration Court, court proceedings at the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, university admissions at University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, Drexel University, and employment, licensing, and medical records required by employers and regulators across Pennsylvania.
