Dayton universities and translated transcripts
Two Dayton area universities publish clear rules. The University of Dayton says international graduate applicants must have all transcripts officially translated into English and must submit both the non-English and English versions. It also notes that WES does not provide translation services.
Wright State University says that if your university does not issue transcripts in English, you must provide an original copy of your transcripts alongside an official translation of your transcript and degree certificate.
Send us both the transcript and the degree certificate if your school asks for both, and check the admissions page for your program before ordering.

Immigration paperwork
USCIS applies 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) to every foreign-language document: it must be accompanied by a full English translation that the translator has certified as complete and accurate, and by the translator’s certification of competence to translate from the foreign language into English. Our signed certificate of accuracy addresses both points. Acceptance of any filing is decided by USCIS, not by us.
The City of Dayton adopted the Welcome Dayton Plan in October 2011, and the city lists improving access to city services for residents with limited English proficiency among its results.

From Dayton to an Ohio apostille
Apostilles are issued only by the Ohio Secretary of State, whose Client Service Center is at 180 Civic Center Dr., Columbus, OH 43215-4138. Dayton residents can mail a request or arrange an appointment for same-day service.
- What to send. Form 8003, the document, and a self-addressed stamped envelope or prepaid overnight label.
- Cost. $5.00 per document. The exact fee is required, by check, money order or the credit card authorization form.
- Processing. Within two to three days of receipt, according to the form.
- Translations. The office does not translate. It says a translation must be notarized before an apostille is issued, and it rejects notarizations made outside Ohio.
Notarized translations and languages
When a translation has to be notarized for Ohio, as it does for an Ohio apostille, we hire a notary commissioned in Ohio to notarize the translator’s statement. Ohio Revised Code 147.142 bars notaries who are not attorneys from advertising as immigration consultants or using the term ‘notario publico’.
QuickFacts from the Census Bureau puts the share of Dayton residents age 5 and older who speak a language other than English at home at 8.0 percent, with 5.3 percent of residents foreign born (2020 to 2024). Of the 100 languages we translate, Spanish, Russian, Hindi, Urdu, Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic and Czech are requested most. Please ask about others.
