Courts in Greensboro
State trial courts for the city sit at the Guilford County Courthouse, 201 South Eugene St., Greensboro, NC 27401. The North Carolina Judicial Branch lists it as open 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on weekdays and closed from 12:45 p.m. to 1:45 p.m. Guilford County forms Superior Court District 24 and District Court District 24, and a second county courthouse operates in High Point.
Greensboro is also the main office of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, at the L. Richardson Preyer Courthouse, 324 W. Market Street. The clerk’s office there is open 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekdays, and it receives filings for the district’s Winston-Salem and Durham courthouses too.
For spoken interpretation in state court, the Judicial Branch’s Office of Language Access Services publishes a request form for a spoken foreign language court interpreter and keeps a registry of court interpreters. That office deals with interpreting in the courtroom. If you plan to file a written document in another language, ask the clerk or your attorney what form of translation the court expects.
What USCIS asks for in a translation
Federal regulation 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) says any document containing foreign language submitted to USCIS must be accompanied by a full English translation that the translator has certified as complete and accurate, along with the translator’s certification of competence to translate from the foreign language into English. Our certificate of accuracy is written to carry both statements. We cannot promise how any agency will rule on a filing.
How UNCG and North Carolina A&T handle foreign transcripts
Two public universities in Greensboro publish rules that go beyond translation. UNC Greensboro states that undergraduates with non-U.S. transcripts must submit a course-by-course evaluation report from an approved provider, and that the report must be sent to UNCG directly by the evaluation service. It accepts members of NACES and providers endorsed by AICE. North Carolina A&T State University tells applicants who studied outside the United States to have transcripts evaluated by a credential evaluation service, with a course-by-course evaluation for post-secondary coursework.
Evaluation services set their own document rules, and many ask for an English translation alongside the original record. Check the evaluator’s instructions before you order so the translation matches what it wants.
Getting a North Carolina apostille from Greensboro
Apostilles for North Carolina documents are issued by the Secretary of State’s Authentications office in Raleigh, not by any Guilford County office. From Greensboro you can mail your documents or hand deliver them.
- Fee. $10.00 per document, by check or money order payable to North Carolina Secretary of State.
- What to send. A cover letter, the original document with its certification, payment, and a prepaid return envelope or carrier label.
- Where. 2 South Salisbury Street, Raleigh, NC 27601. Mail goes to P.O. Box 29622, Raleigh, NC 27626-0622.
- Walk-in. No appointment is needed. The office is open Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and says mailed documents generally take five business days longer than hand-delivered ones.
- Language. The office states that documents must be in English and that otherwise you should obtain a certified or notarized translation.
- Vital records. Certified copies from a Register of Deeds, a Clerk of Superior Court or NC Vital Records do not need to be notarized first. School transcripts and diplomas must be notarized by a North Carolina notary.
Ordering a translation from Greensboro
Send a scan or clear photo of each page through the quote form as a PDF, JPEG, PNG or Word file. We reply with a price and delivery date. The finished translation arrives electronically, and a paper copy can be mailed to your Greensboro address.
If your translation has to be notarized for North Carolina, for example because it will go to Raleigh for an apostille, we hire a notary commissioned in North Carolina to notarize the translator’s statement. We can also help with the apostille request itself.
The languages we are asked for most are Spanish, Russian, Hindi, Urdu, Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic and Czech. We work in 100 languages, so ask about any other. Phone (971) 514-3743, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
