Certified Translation Services in Florida
Florida has nine USCIS field offices, three of them in Miami-Dade County, and the most concentrated flow of Latin American and Caribbean civil documents in the United States. Cuban, Venezuelan, Colombian, Haitian, Brazilian and Nicaraguan records all arrive here in volume — and no two of those national registries format a birth certificate the same way.
Florida work is handled remotely from our New Jersey office, delivered as signed PDFs, normally within 24 hours.

Six registry systems, one filing standard
Cuban certifications are drawn from bound registry books and carry book, folio and page references that identify the record. Venezuelan documents issued through the Registro Civil since 2010 differ substantially from earlier partida de nacimiento extracts. Haitian records come from the Archives Nationales and are in French, sometimes with Creole annotations. Brazilian certidões are issued by private cartórios under state supervision, which is a different institutional arrangement again.
A translator who treats all of these as generic birth certificates will name the wrong issuing authority, and the issuing authority is one of the things a reviewing officer checks.
Florida Circuit Courts receive the translated evidence; marriage records come from the Clerk of the Circuit Court in the county where the licence was issued.
Florida USCIS offices
Miami, Kendall, Hialeah, Oakland Park, West Palm Beach, Fort Myers, Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville. The South Florida concentration reflects the caseload.
Requirements are identical at all of them: complete English translation, translator certification, original alongside. Notarization is not required by USCIS.
Apostilles for Florida documents
The Florida Department of State issues apostilles. Birth and death certificates come from the Bureau of Vital Statistics in Jacksonville or from county health departments.
Marriage certificates are held by the Clerk of the Circuit Court, and the Department of State apostilles a certified copy issued by that clerk.
