Languages in Tulsa, according to the city
The City of Tulsa has a citywide Language Access Policy, adopted by executive order. Its published figures say about 11 percent of Tulsans, roughly 46,000 people, are foreign-born, 19 percent speak a language other than English at home, and about 29,000 residents aged 5 and over speak English less than very well.
The policy names Spanish, Zopau/Burmese, Vietnamese, Hmong, Chinese and Arabic as the primary languages served, and lists Mexico, Burma, Guatemala, India and Vietnam as the top countries of birth. Census Reporter’s ACS 2024 one-year profile puts the city’s population at 413,652 and the foreign-born share at 13.2 percent.
Tulsa Public Schools offers interpretation and translation to parents and guardians at no cost, with dedicated phone lines in Spanish, Hmong, Pashto, Dari, Marshallese and Arabic. Those district services are for school communication; they are not a source of certified translations for outside agencies.
Tulsa County Court Clerk and vital records
Marriage licenses and divorce decrees from Tulsa County are held by the Tulsa County Court Clerk. The licensing department charges a $5.00 search fee plus $1.50 per certified copy for previously issued marriage licenses and divorce decrees, payable by credit or debit card.
Birth and death certificates are state records. The Tulsa location at the James O. Goodwin Health Center is for Will Call pickup only: you order ahead online, by phone at (405) 426-8880 or by mail, and same-day service is not offered.

Courts in Tulsa
The Tulsa County District Court is at 500 South Denver, Tulsa, OK 74103. Its court administration page explains that the Oklahoma Supreme Court has authorized a certification program for spoken language interpreters based on National Center for State Courts standards, and the court has a Trial Court Interpreter Coordinator. That covers interpreting in hearings. For written exhibits in another language, ask the clerk or your attorney what the assigned judge requires.
The United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma is in the Page Belcher Federal Building, 333 W. 4th Street, Room 411, Tulsa, OK 74103.
University of Tulsa and Tulsa Community College
The University of Tulsa tells applicants with transcripts from non-U.S. institutions to send course descriptions and syllabi with certified translations, and says it handles evaluations internally when transcripts are in English or accompanied by an English translation.
Tulsa Community College asks for a translated copy of an international high school transcript that is not in English, done by a third-party service; if you use a local service, TCC says the documents must be certified or notarized. International college transcripts must go to a NACES member organization for a course-by-course evaluation.
From Tulsa to an Oklahoma apostille
There is no apostille counter in Tulsa. All Oklahoma apostilles come from the Secretary of State, Certification Department, 421 NW 13th St, Suite 210, Oklahoma City, OK 73103. You can mail documents there with a cover letter stating the destination country, your return address and phone number, or take them in person on a weekday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. The fee is $25 per document; personal checks are not accepted.
When a translation needs to be notarized for Oklahoma, for example for an Oklahoma apostille, we hire a notary commissioned in Oklahoma to notarize the translator’s statement. We also help with the apostille itself; mention it in your quote request.
Placing an order from Tulsa
Upload your document as a PDF, JPEG, PNG or Word file through the quote form and tell us which office will receive it. For USCIS, 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires a full English translation with the translator’s certification of accuracy and competence, and our certificate addresses both. We translate 100 languages, most often Spanish, Russian, Hindi, Urdu, Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic and Czech. If yours is not in that list, ask us. You can reach us at (971) 514-3743 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. We do not have a Tulsa office and cannot promise that a given agency will accept a document.
