Certified Translation Services in Yonkers, NY
Yonkers is the largest city in Westchester County and the point where New York City's immigration document flow continues northward. Its Ecuadorian, Mexican, Dominican and Jamaican communities generate the bulk of the civil-record work, and proximity to the city means most federal filings still route through 26 Federal Plaza.
We are about fifteen miles away across the Hudson in Edgewater, New Jersey. Jobs are delivered as signed PDFs, usually within 24 hours.

Westchester County authentication and courts
Westchester County Supreme Court sits in White Plains and handles the matrimonial, family and civil matters where translated documents are filed. The Westchester County Clerk, also in White Plains, performs the notary authentication that has to precede a New York apostille for any document notarized in the county.
Ecuadorian records are the distinctive local item. Civil registry certificates from the Registro Civil carry a cédula number that identifies the holder across every other Ecuadorian document they will ever hold, and it must appear in the translation. Jamaican records — issued by the Registrar General's Department — are in English already, which means they usually need no translation at all, only certification of the copy.

When a translation is not what you need
Documents from Jamaica, Guyana, Trinidad, Nigeria, Ghana and other English-language jurisdictions do not need translating. What they sometimes need is authentication of the copy, which is a different service.
If you are unsure, send the document before ordering. We will say plainly if it does not need translation.
