USCIS-accepted certified translations for immigration, courts, universities, and employers – from $29.95 per page. Serving all Reading and Berks County neighborhoods with fast turnaround.
Reading is one of the more linguistically diverse communities in Pennsylvania, with roughly 62.5% of residents speaking a language other than English at home according to the US Census Bureau. Reading is majority-Hispanic/Latino (approximately 69% per ACS 2022), with Puerto Ricans forming the largest Hispanic subgroup, followed by Dominicans; it is one of the most Hispanic cities in Pennsylvania. This creates ongoing demand for certified translation services – for immigration applications routed through the Philadelphia Immigration Court, court proceedings at the Berks County Court of Common Pleas, university admissions at Alvernia University, Albright College, Penn State Berks, 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 Reading and Berks 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 Berks County Court of Common Pleas, or applying to Alvernia University, our translations meet every institutional standard.
