Reliable, Legally Compliant Translations for Immigration, Legal, Business & Academic Needs
Illinois is home to one of the most diverse populations in the U.S., with over 12.6 million residents and a significant immigrant community.
In cities like Chicago, Aurora, Naperville, Joliet, and Rockford, certified translations are essential for legal, business, academic, and immigration purposes.
At BeTranslated, we specialize in certified document translations that meet Illinois state regulations and are accepted by USCIS, Illinois courts, universities, and corporate entities.
What Are Certified Translation Services?
A certified translation is a professionally translated document accompanied by a signed certificate of accuracy. These translations ensure legal validity and official recognition by institutions such as:
- USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) – Required for visa applications, green card processing, and naturalization
- Illinois courts – Essential for legal proceedings, contracts, and affidavits
- Universities & Schools – Required by institutions like Northwestern University and the University of Illinois for foreign diplomas and transcripts
- State Agencies & Businesses – Used for business contracts, financial documents, and compliance paperwork
Unlike notarized translations, which verify a translator’s identity, certified translations confirm accuracy and completeness, ensuring acceptance by government agencies, businesses, and legal entities.
