Who We Serve
Djibouti's population is predominantly Somali and Afar, and many Djiboutian-Americans in Columbus maintain close ties to the Somali community. Djiboutian civil documents are issued in French and Arabic — two languages not often handled together by translation services. We do both.

French Administrative Documents in East African Immigration Cases
