Courts that serve Evansville
Vanderburgh Circuit Court and Vanderburgh Superior Court both sit at 825 Sycamore Street, Evansville, IN 47708, according to the Indiana Directory of Courts and Clerks. The federal court is the Evansville Division of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, in the Winfield K. Denton Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse, 101 Northwest Martin Luther King Boulevard. That division covers Daviess, Dubois, Gibson, Martin, Perry, Pike, Posey, Spencer, Vanderburgh and Warrick counties.
Spoken interpreting in court is a separate service from written translation. The Indiana Supreme Court has run a Court Interpreter Certification Program since 2002 and keeps a registry of certified and qualified interpreters. If you are filing a foreign-language exhibit, ask the court or your attorney what form of translation it wants before you order.
Immigration filings from Evansville
USCIS applies one translation rule nationwide. Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), any document containing a foreign language must be filed with a full English translation that the translator has certified as complete and accurate, along with the translator’s certification of competence to translate from that language into English. Our certificate of accuracy is written to cover both statements. We cannot promise how any agency will decide on a filing.
Transcripts, diplomas and driver's licenses
The University of Southern Indiana in Evansville asks international applicants for an official general, document-by-document evaluation from a member of the National Association of Credential Evaluation Services. The evaluation service sets its own translation rules, so check them before ordering a transcript translation.
The Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles accepts an out-of-country driver’s license that is in English, one presented with a verifiably accurate English translation, or one presented with an International Driving Permit.
Getting an Indiana apostille when you live in Evansville
Indiana apostilles are issued only by the Secretary of State in Indianapolis, so from Evansville the request goes by mail or you travel to the capital. The mailing address is Indiana Secretary of State, Authentications, 302 W. Washington Street, Room E-018, Indianapolis, IN 46204. Send State Form 56720 and a self-addressed stamped envelope.
- Fee. $2.00 per authentication. Indiana birth and death certificates, adoption documents and student transcripts or diplomas are free.
- Timing. The office says requests are normally processed 1 to 2 business days after receipt.
- Marriage records. Must first be certified by the current circuit court clerk of the county where the marriage took place. For an Evansville marriage that is the Vanderburgh County Clerk.
- Translations. The Secretary of State does not translate documents and says a translation must be notarized before it can be authenticated.
Notarized translations for Indiana
When a translation has to be notarized for Indiana, for example so it can receive an Indiana apostille, we hire a notary commissioned in Indiana to notarize the translator’s statement. Indiana’s notary guide says a notary has no authority to create or certify copies of official records, and a notary who is not an attorney may not use the title ‘notario’ or ‘notario publico’. Certified copies of vital records come from the health department or clerk listed above.

Upload a scan or clear photo of every page through the quote form. PDF, JPEG, PNG and Word files are accepted.

You get a quote from $65 per page, and the finished translation is sent electronically or mailed to your Evansville address. Our most requested languages are Spanish, Russian, Hindi, Urdu, Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic and Czech, and we work in 100 languages in total, so ask about yours.
