USCIS-accepted certified translations for immigration, courts, universities, and employers – from $29.95 per page. Serving all Roanoke and City of Roanoke neighborhoods with fast turnaround.
Roanoke 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. Roanoke is one of Virginia's primary refugee resettlement hubs, with Commonwealth Catholic Charities operating a major resettlement office serving Sudanese, Iraqi, Bhutanese/Nepali, Somali, Afghan, and Syrian refugee populations (ACS 2022). This creates ongoing demand for certified translation services – for immigration applications routed through the Arlington Immigration Court, court proceedings at the Roanoke City Circuit Court, university admissions at Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine, Hollins University, Radford University Carilion, 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 Roanoke and City of Roanoke. 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 Roanoke City Circuit Court, or applying to Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine, our translations meet every institutional standard.
