Why Pittsburgh Residents Need Certified Translations

Pittsburgh has a steadily growing foreign-born population – roughly 8.6% of residents per the latest US Census estimates, with about 11.2% of households speaking a language other than English at home. Pittsburgh hosts one of the largest Nepali/Bhutanese refugee populations in the US, concentrated in Carrick, Brookline, and Prospect Park, with Allegheny County resettling over 5,000 Bhutanese refugees since 2008 (ACS 2022) This creates ongoing demand for certified translation services – for immigration applications routed through the Philadelphia Immigration Court (Pittsburgh has no local IJ court), court proceedings at the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas, university admissions at University of Pittsburgh, Carnegie Mellon University, Duquesne 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 Pittsburgh and Allegheny 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 (Pittsburgh has no local IJ court), submitting to the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas, or applying to University of Pittsburgh, our translations meet every institutional standard.
