USCIS in Omaha
The USCIS Omaha Field Office is at 1717 Avenue H, Omaha, NE 68110. USCIS states that it serves all of Nebraska plus 29 Iowa counties, including Pottawattamie, Woodbury and Mills, and that visitors must have an appointment and photo identification.
Any foreign-language document you file must come with a full English translation. The regulation, 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), requires the translator to certify that the translation is complete and accurate and that he or she is competent to translate from the foreign language into English. Birth, marriage and divorce certificates, police records and diplomas are translated in full, including stamps and handwritten notes.

Interpreting versus translating in Douglas County cases
Spoken interpreting in Nebraska state courts is arranged through the Supreme Court’s Court Interpreter Training and Certification Program. In its 2019 Language Access Plan the judicial branch reported interpreters working in 49 languages across 65 counties in a single fiscal year, with Spanish requested most often. The plan also notes that selected court forms were translated into Spanish, Vietnamese and Arabic.
Paper is different. If you plan to rely on a foreign-language contract, certificate or message as evidence, ask your attorney or the clerk how the judge wants the English version presented. We can supply a certified translation and, if asked, a notarized translator’s statement.
Consulate of Mexico
Mexico maintains a consulate in Omaha at 330 N 117th Street, Suite 100, Omaha, NE 68154, open Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. according to its website. It handles protection and documentation for Mexican nationals. If you are preparing U.S. documents for use in Mexico or another country, ask the receiving authority whether it wants an apostille and a Spanish translation, and in what order.
Omaha universities and translated records
The University of Nebraska Omaha catalog states that if academic records are not issued in English, a certified English translation must be included. Applicants transferring credit from foreign institutions also need a course-by-course evaluation from a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services.
Creighton University asks international applicants for a high school transcript that shows the grading scale, with an English translation if it is in another language. A credential evaluator is a separate service from a translator; most evaluators need the certified translation first.

Apostilles and ordering from Omaha
Nebraska apostilles are not issued in Omaha. They come from the Secretary of State’s Notary Division in Lincoln, for $10 per document. You can mail the original with the request form to PO Box 95104, Lincoln, NE 68509, which takes 3 to 5 business days from receipt, or take it to 1201 N Street, Suite 120 for same-day service.
