Expert translators serving Chicago's global corporate headquarters, Midwest manufacturing firms, healthcare networks, and international trading companies. 50+ languages.
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.
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.

“We contacted Betranslated services in July 2024. My daughter had time sensitive documents that required certified translation from Spanish to English. The company accommodated her request and promptly, accurately translated all of her documents ahead of time. The documents showed clearly which part had been translated to make it easy to identify. They were friendly & professional, and we would recommend their services to anyone.”

“Reliable, trustworthy and customer-centric This is the summation of Michael, Suzy and their team of translators. I have worked with them for over a year, and they have been my translation service for advertising in many European languages - from Swedish to German to Russian, and not always from English! Consider them a rare find.”
