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.

Illinois law mandates certified translations for documents submitted to several authorities: USCIS applications such as birth and marriage certificates and passports; Cook County Circuit Court filings including court cases, power of attorney, and legal contracts; and Illinois Secretary of State business registrations and incorporation documents. State universities and agencies have similar requirements.
