Certified Translation Services in Union City, NJ
Union City has been a centre of Cuban life in the New York metro since the 1960s, and it remains one of the most densely Spanish-speaking municipalities in the country. The document work that comes from here is overwhelmingly Latin American civil registry material — Cuban, Dominican, Ecuadorian, Honduran — and it needs a translator who reads the originals fluently rather than one working through a glossary.
Our office is six miles north in Edgewater. Certified translations are $49 for the first page, signed, with the certificate of accuracy included.

Cuban and Latin American civil records
Cuban documents have their own characteristics. Birth certificates issued by the Registro Civil often come as a certificación de nacimiento drawn from a bound registry book, with the book, folio and page numbers printed on the face. Those numbers are how the record is located and verified, and they belong in the translation exactly as printed. Older records may be handwritten.
The two-surname convention applies across all of these countries: a person carries a paternal and a maternal surname, and the maternal one is not a middle name. Translations that drop it create mismatches against passports and USCIS forms that then have to be explained.
Hudson County Superior Court in Jersey City handles the local court filings; the USCIS Newark Field Office handles interviews.

A typical adjustment packet from this area includes a birth certificate, a marriage certificate if applicable, and sometimes a divorce decree or a police certificate from the country of origin. Each needs its own complete certified translation.
Priced as one job rather than several, a full packet is usually far less than people expect: the $49 minimum applies once, and additional pages run at $0.12 per word.

Questions fréquemment posées
Do you translate Cuban registry documents?
Yes, including handwritten entries and older bound-registry certifications with folio and page references.
Will you keep both of my surnames?
Yes. Both surnames are reproduced as they appear on the source document, which is what keeps the translation consistent with your passport and USCIS forms.
Can the whole family's documents be quoted together?
Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Upload everything at once and the quote tool prices the set.
Is notarization needed?
Not for USCIS. Notarization is available for $19 per document when a consulate or court has specifically requested it.
