Sioux Falls is the largest city in South Dakota and the state's most linguistically diverse community. The Sioux Falls School District serves more than 25,000 students across 44 schools, with over 100 languages spoken at home — the top five being Spanish, Swahili, Nepali, Kunama, and Amharic. Lutheran Social Services of South Dakota has resettled thousands of refugees here from Nepal, Myanmar, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, making Sioux Falls one of the fastest-growing immigrant hubs in the Upper Midwest. This diversity creates constant demand for certified translation services — for USCIS immigration applications processed through the St. Paul Field Office (which has jurisdiction over South Dakota) with biometrics collected at the Sioux Falls Application Support Center at 500 East Sixth Street, proceedings at the Second Judicial Circuit in the Minnehaha County Courthouse, graduate and professional admissions at Augustana University, the University of Sioux Falls, and the USD Sanford School of Medicine, and employment paperwork across Sanford Health, Avera Health, Smithfield Foods, Hy-Vee, Wells Fargo, and Citi.

Official Translations provides USCIS-accepted certified translations for individuals, law firms, immigration attorneys, universities, and employers throughout Sioux Falls, Minnehaha County, and the Sioux Empire region. 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 accepted by all official US institutions. Whether you are filing an immigration petition through the St. Paul Field Office, submitting foreign evidence to the US District Court for the District of South Dakota at 400 S Phillips Avenue, applying to Augustana University, or converting a foreign driver's license with the South Dakota Department of Public Safety, our certified translations meet every institutional standard.
