翻译服务

Of course. What language do you need? We have interpreters available for many languages, and if we do not have one on site, we can arrange a phone interpreter right away.

Let me check if our Mandarin interpreter is available today. Yes, she is here. I will bring her over. This service is completely free — government agencies are required by law to provide language assistance to anyone who needs it.

No need to worry. Many people use our language services every day. The interpreter will help you communicate with the staff member handling your application. Just speak in your language and she will translate everything back and forth.

Many of our common forms are available in Chinese and other languages. Let me get you the Chinese version of the driver license application. For forms that are not translated, the interpreter can go through each question with you and help you fill them out in English.

Government offices do not provide document translation services, but I can point you in the right direction. You need a certified translation from a professional translator. They must include a signed statement that the translation is complete and accurate to the best of their knowledge.

For a standard document like a birth certificate, certified translations typically cost twenty to forty dollars per page. More complex legal documents can be fifty to seventy-five dollars per page. Most translators can complete a birth certificate within one to two business days.

It depends on the receiving agency. USCIS, for example, accepts certified translations without notarization. Some state agencies or courts may require notarization. Check with the specific office where you are submitting the document. If you do need notarization, many banks and shipping stores offer that service for about five to fifteen dollars.

Online certified translation services are perfectly acceptable as long as they provide a proper certification statement. Many reputable companies offer this — you upload the document, pay, and receive the certified translation digitally or by mail. Just make sure the service is well-reviewed and provides the certification letter.
