About Certified Translation in Johnstown
Johnstown is in Licking County. Certified translations are required whenever a foreign-language document is submitted to a U.S. government agency, court, school, or employer. USCIS is particularly strict — any untranslated foreign-language document in an immigration application will cause a Request for Evidence (RFE) or denial.
A certified translation includes a signed statement from the translator confirming that the translation is accurate and complete to the best of their knowledge. USCIS requires this format for every foreign-language document submitted with an immigration application.
Johnstown (Licking County) is part of the Central Ohio service area. Families who need translations for USCIS petitions, school enrollment, Ohio court filings, or employment records visit our Columbus office on Morse Road — or send documents by scan for a faster turnaround on straightforward translations.

Certified Translation FAQ
What makes a translation "certified" for USCIS?
USCIS requires that every foreign-language document be accompanied by a full English translation, along with the translator's certification that they are competent in both languages and that the translation is accurate and complete. There is no official USCIS approved-translator list — the translator's signed certification is the required element.
Can I get a certified translation same day in Johnstown?
Yes, for short documents (1–2 pages), same-day certified translation service is often available at our Columbus office. Longer documents or multi-language packets typically take 2–3 business days. Call ahead to confirm availability.
Do you translate the entire document or just the key parts?
We translate every word visible in the document — headers, body text, stamps, seals, marginal notes, correction marks, and page numbers. USCIS and courts expect a complete translation, not a summary.
How much does certified translation cost?
Certified translation starts at $50 per page. Standard (non-certified) translation starts at $25 per page. Rush and same-day service have additional fees. Contact our Columbus office for a quote based on your specific document.
Does a certified translation need to be notarized for USCIS?
USCIS does not require certified translations to be notarized — the translator's signed certification statement is sufficient. Some courts, consulates, and foreign agencies may have additional notarization requirements; ask us if you are submitting to a non-USCIS agency.
Can you certify translations of documents from any country?
Yes. We prepare certified translations from any foreign language, regardless of the country of issue. If the document is in a language for which we need a specialist translator, we will confirm availability and turnaround with you before starting.
