Frequently Asked Questions — Illinois

Everything you need to know about getting your documents translated.

Where can I get a certified translation in Chicago, Aurora, or Naperville?
You can order certified translation online through CertTranslate and receive delivery by email anywhere in Illinois, including Chicago, Aurora, Naperville, Springfield, and Rockford. Janie Markos serves as the Chicago partner contact from LinguaNational Translations and helps route your request quickly. Call (312) 375-5818 if you want to confirm the document type or deadline before ordering.
Who handles my order?
Janie Markos and the Chicago partner desk coordinate your order. The translation itself is assigned through the CertTranslate network to a qualified linguist matched to your language pair and document type, and the final package includes the signed Certificate of Accuracy required for certified submissions.
Do you handle USCIS translations in Illinois?
Yes. CertTranslate provides certified translations for Illinois USCIS filings, including cases submitted through the Chicago Field Office. If a translation is rejected for a certification or formatting issue, we correct it free of charge or refund you under the CertTranslate guarantee. Common USCIS document types include birth certificates, marriage certificates, passports, police records, and academic documents.
How much does certified translation cost in Illinois?
Certified translation costs $24.95 per page, where one page equals up to 250 words of source text. The rate is the same anywhere in Illinois, with no Chicago markup or local surcharge. The price includes translation, formatting, and a signed Certificate of Accuracy. Optional add-ons are notarization ($19.95) and hard copy delivery ($9.95).
How fast can I get my translation?
Most standard documents are delivered by email within 24 hours of placing your order. Common items like birth certificates, marriage certificates, passports, and diplomas usually fall in the 12 to 24 hour range. Larger or more technical files may take 24 to 48 hours. If your deadline is tight, call Janie at (312) 375-5818 before ordering.
Do I need notarization for USCIS?
No. USCIS requires certified translation with a signed Certificate of Accuracy, not notarization. Notarization is a separate step used by some courts, foreign government procedures, and certain legal transactions. If you need it for another destination, it is available as an add-on for $19.95.
What is the difference between certified and notarized translation?
Certified translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy stating the translation is complete and accurate. That is the format USCIS and many schools or employers require. Notarized translation adds a notary public seal to verify the signer's identity. Not every destination needs notarization, so it is offered separately rather than bundled automatically.
Can a bilingual friend or family member translate my documents for USCIS?
That is risky and usually not the right move. USCIS expects a qualified translation accompanied by a signed Certificate of Accuracy, and self-translation or family translation can create avoidable questions. Using a professional certified-translation workflow is safer if the document matters for an immigration filing.
Do you handle Spanish, Polish, Arabic, Chinese, Russian, or other languages in Illinois?
Yes. LinguaNational Translations and the CertTranslate network support the main language needs we see in Illinois, including Spanish, Polish, Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Russian, and many others. If your language pair is less common, Janie can still coordinate the request and confirm turnaround before you place the order.
How can I confirm what type of translation I need before ordering?
Use our free Requirements Checker tool to find out exactly what your destination requires — whether it's USCIS, a specific court, university, or other institution. Answer a few questions about your situation and get a clear checklist of what you need. The tool is free and doesn't require your email. If you're still unsure, call Janie at (312) 375-5818 for personalized guidance.
