Courts that serve Green Bay
The Brown County Circuit Court sits at the Brown County Courthouse, 100 South Jefferson Street, Green Bay, WI 54301, and has eight judicial branches. For federal matters, the Green Bay division of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin is at 125 S. Jefferson Street, Room 102, in the Jefferson Court Building. That division covers 16 counties, including Brown, Door, Kewaunee, Oconto, Outagamie and Manitowoc.
Spoken-language court interpreters in Wisconsin are credentialed only by the Director of State Courts office. Interpreting in a hearing and translating a written exhibit are separate tasks, so ask the clerk or your attorney what the court wants filed with a foreign-language document. We can supply the written translation with a certificate of accuracy.
What USCIS asks for in a translation
The federal rule at 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) says any document containing foreign language submitted to USCIS must come 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 those points. No translation company controls the outcome of an application, and we do not promise acceptance by any agency.
Transcripts for UW-Green Bay and NWTC
The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay tells first-year international applicants that secondary school transcripts, diplomas or examination results must be in English, and that where they are not, a certified English translation is needed, accompanied by the original. Transfer applicants with study outside the United States must also submit a course-by-course evaluation from a NACES-approved credential evaluation service.
Northeast Wisconsin Technical College requires a course-by-course evaluation of international high school or post-secondary coursework before it will transfer credits, and accepts evaluations from any NACES member. Evaluators set their own translation rules, so check them before you order.

Getting a Wisconsin apostille from Green Bay
Apostilles in Wisconsin are issued by the Department of Financial Institutions (DFI) in Madison, not by any county office in Green Bay. DFI charges $10 per document for standard service, processed in up to 7 business days, or $35 per document expedited, processed in up to 2 business days. Mail time is extra. You send the Apostille Request form (APO3500), one per destination country, with the original or certified document and payment.
Mail goes to Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions, PO Box 7838, Madison, WI 53707-7838. The walk-in and courier address is 4822 Madison Yards Way, North Tower, Madison, WI 53705, open Monday to Friday, 7:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. DFI also takes requests online with card payment.
DFI states that certified vital records cannot be notarized; they must be certified copies from a register of deeds, a clerk of courts or the state registrar. A translation is different: it reaches DFI as a notarized document. When your translation needs a Wisconsin apostille, we hire a notary commissioned in Wisconsin to notarize the translator’s statement. We can also help you put the apostille request together.
