Why this Translation Services page is written for Short North
Short North sits in Columbus Metro, driven by financial services, insurance, healthcare, and the new wave of tech investment around the Intel campus and the Columbus Region Logistics Council corridor. Franklin County, where Short North is located, is a small Ohio city where most clients drive to the county seat for vital records and to a regional metro for federal appointments.
Columbus Metro families regularly need certified English translations of foreign birth, marriage, divorce, school, and police records for USCIS, schools, employers, and licensing boards. Our Franklin County clients receive translations that match the original document layout closely, with the certification statement formatted exactly how reviewing officers expect it.

Portuguese Translation Services in Short North
Short North and Franklin County have Portuguese-speaking residents primarily from Brazil. Brazilian civil records — certidão de nascimento, certidão de casamento — follow Brazilian registry formats that our translators are familiar with. We handle both Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese documents.
Brazilian civil documents are issued by cartório (civil registry notary offices) and carry official seals, registration numbers, and notarial signatures. We translate all of these elements.
Our Columbus office serves all of Columbus Metro, including Short North. Whether you are preparing a USCIS application, responding to an RFE, enrolling children in school, or submitting documents to an Ohio court or employer, we provide certified translations with the signed certification statement that agencies require.
