Visiting us at 55 Broadway

We are in Lower Manhattan, on Broadway a short walk from Wall Street. Visits are by appointment, so please call (212) 380-1679 before you come. Bring the original documents if you want us to see them, and a government-issued photo ID if you need something notarized: there is a notary public in the office.

You do not have to visit. Most New York clients upload their documents, and we email back a certified translation as a PDF you can print. Some offices still want paper, and we can have hard copies ready for pickup here or mail them to you.

Where NYC clients use our translations

Most of what we certify for New York clients goes to an office within a few subway stops of ours: the USCIS New York Field Office at 26 Federal Plaza; New York County Supreme Court at 60 Centre Street, Civil Court at 111 Centre Street and Family Court at 60 Lafayette Street; the consulates in Midtown; and the city's universities, hospitals and schools. Our certified translations carry the signed statement of accuracy these offices ask for, and the notary in our office can notarize it.

For the full list of services and the 100+ languages we translate, see our New York translation services page.

Getting here

  • Subway: Wall St (4, 5), Rector St (1 and R, W) and Bowling Green (4, 5) are each a few minutes' walk away.
  • From Brooklyn: one or two stops on the 4 or 5 from Borough Hall to Wall St, or the R to Rector St.
  • From Jersey City and Hoboken: PATH to World Trade Center, then about ten minutes on foot down Broadway.
  • From Staten Island: the ferry lands at Whitehall Terminal, about ten minutes' walk from the office.
  • From Queens and the Bronx: the R and W stop at Rector St, and the 4 and 5 run from the Bronx down to Wall St.

Who needs a translator in New York City

New York City is one of the more multilingual places we work in. Of 8,017,969 residents aged five and over, 1,771,089 report speaking English less than very well, which is 22.1% of the city. Demand for certified translation here is steady rather than occasional, and it runs across 12 separate language groups rather than one.

The largest group is Spanish, with 1,822,137 speakers. It is not the whole picture: 12 separate language groups in New York City have a limited-English population in the thousands.

Source: US Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2023 5-Year Estimates, table C16001. "Limited English" is the Census category for speaking English less than very well. Several rows are combined groups rather than single languages, so the totals cover a family of languages. We translate the individual languages inside each group.

Getting a document certified from New York City

You can hand documents over at our New York City office, but you do not need to. Upload the file and we return a PDF you can print, with the certification carrying the same weight either way.

What a certified translation has to contain, what USCIS accepts, and what it costs are the same everywhere, so they are covered once on the pages that own them rather than repeated here:

The USCIS office in New York City

The USCIS New York City Field Office is at the Jacob K. Javits Federal Building, 26 Federal Plaza, New York, NY 10278, under a mile north of our office.

Translations are filed with your paperwork either way. Address from USCIS; check your own appointment notice before travelling.

Apostilles for New York documents

For documents issued in New York, the competent authority is New York Secretary of State. Not us: an apostille authenticates the original document, while certification covers the translation. How the two fit together.

Authority per the Hague Conference registry, which is not the Secretary of State in every state.

Languages most asked for in New York City: Spanish, Chinese, other Indo-European languages. We cover more than 100 languages in total, listed on the languages page.
