What a certified translation includes
Every certified translation we deliver has the full English text and a signed certificate of accuracy from the translator. That matches the federal rule for immigration filings, 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), which calls for a full English language translation certified as complete and accurate together with the translator’s certification of competence. Other recipients set their own rules, so check with the office that will receive the document. We do not guarantee acceptance by any agency.

Akron courts
State trial courts in Akron are the Summit County Court of Common Pleas at 209 S. High Street and the Akron Municipal Court at 172 S Broadway St. Federal matters go to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio at the John F. Seiberling Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse, 2 South Main Street.
Ohio courts follow Supreme Court of Ohio rules on interpreters, which set an order of preference that begins with a Supreme Court certified foreign language interpreter. Interpreting in the courtroom is separate from translating written evidence. If you are filing a document in another language, ask the clerk or your lawyer what form of translation the judge requires.
University of Akron and foreign credentials
The University of Akron’s international admissions pages state that college level work completed outside the U.S. requires a course-by-course evaluation by a NACES-accredited credential evaluation service. Evaluation services commonly set their own translation requirements for documents that are not in English, so confirm those with the evaluator you choose before ordering a translation.
Apostille for an Akron document
An apostille for an Ohio document comes from one place: the Ohio Secretary of State. From Akron, the usual route is mail.
Complete Form 8003 and enclose the document, $5.00 per document in the exact amount, and either a self-addressed stamped envelope or a prepaid overnight label. The address is Ohio Secretary of State, Client Service Center, 180 Civic Center Dr., Columbus, OH 43215-4138. According to the office, documents are processed within two to three days of receipt, and same-day service is by appointment.
The office will not translate anything, and it says a translation has to be notarized before it will attach an apostille. It also turns away documents notarized outside Ohio. So when your translation needs notarization for Ohio, including for an Ohio apostille, we hire a notary commissioned in Ohio to notarize the translator’s statement.
Under Ohio Revised Code 147.142, non-attorney notaries may not use ‘notario’ or ‘notario publico’ in advertising or present themselves as immigration consultants.
