BeTranslated provides certified translation services tailored to meet official requirements for USCIS immigration applications, legal proceedings, corporate contracts, and academic credential evaluations.
When a project in California moves from documents to live conversation, professional interpreting services can cover board meetings and calls with EU partners.

Moving Abroad? We Handle the Police Certificate Too
Residency applications ask for a police certificate, legalised and translated by a sworn translator. We coordinate the FBI Identity History Summary and its apostille, then produce the sworn translation. Canadian, UK, and UAE certificates handled as well, each on the route its country actually requires.
Translation Services in California: Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We handle software, mobile app, and enterprise localization projects, including resource file translation, QA review, and iterative updates as products evolve.
Yes, Spanish is spoken at home by 28.8% of Californians age 5 and older, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2024 American Community Survey, so US Spanish is a regular part of California work. Our translators are familiar with both US Spanish and Latin American Spanish variants, so the register fits your audience.
Yes. We have specialist translators with life sciences and pharmaceutical backgrounds who handle FDA regulatory submissions, clinical research documents, and medical device labeling for California biotech firms.
Our certified translations are prepared for consular processing, adjustment of status, and citizenship filings from Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Diego, and for work-authorization paperwork at biotech employers. Each one is a complete English translation with the translator's signed certification of competence and accuracy, the format 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) describes.
Final acceptance is determined by USCIS, not by BeTranslated. We stand behind the accuracy and completeness of the translation itself, not a decision made by a government agency.
Yes. Legal and medical work from Los Angeles, San Francisco, and across California runs under a signed NDA, with access limited to the assigned translator and reviewer. Each translation goes through a two-stage review, with GDPR-compliant storage and OFAC screening on sanctioned-jurisdiction content as standard.
