Why Norfolk Residents Need Certified Translations

Norfolk has a steadily growing foreign-born population – roughly 6.8% of residents per the latest US Census estimates, with about 10.2% of households speaking a language other than English at home. Norfolk hosts Naval Station Norfolk, the world's largest naval base, which has driven a large Filipino American community via U.S. Navy recruitment under the 1947 Military Bases Agreement; the Hampton Roads metro has one of the highest concentrations of Filipino Americans on the East Coast per ACS 2022 estimates. This creates ongoing demand for certified translation services – for immigration applications routed through the Arlington Immigration Court, court proceedings at the Norfolk Circuit Court, university admissions at Old Dominion University, Norfolk State University, Eastern Virginia Medical School, and employment, licensing, and medical records required by employers and regulators across Virginia.

Official Translations provides USCIS-accepted certified translations for individuals, law firms, immigration attorneys, universities, and employers throughout Norfolk and City of Norfolk. 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 Arlington Immigration Court, submitting to the Norfolk Circuit Court, or applying to Old Dominion University, our translations meet every institutional standard.
