Latin in the United States

Who speaks Latin, and where they turn up.

Latin is the classical language of Rome and the liturgical language of the Roman Catholic Church. It is extensively used in academic, legal, religious and scientific contexts.

U.S. demand is primarily academic (classics, law school, medical / scientific nomenclature), Catholic-Church records and ceremonial events. We also translate heraldic and heritage texts.

The ones we hear most often, answered by our dispatch and project-management teams.

Can't find it here?

01Will USCIS accept your Latin translation?

Yes. Every Latin translation we deliver ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets 8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3). It is accepted by USCIS, the State Department, U.S. embassies abroad, U.S. district and state courts, and state DMVs and vital-records offices.

A typical Latin personal document — birth, marriage, diploma, police clearance — is delivered in 24–48 hours. Longer legal, medical or technical Latin sets are scoped up-front with a firm deadline, and same-day rush is available on request.

03Do you preserve stamps, seals and layout?

Yes. We preserve the visual layout of the source: tables, stamps, seals, signatures and hand-written annotations are described or re-created so the translated Latin document reads alongside the original, page for page.

04Do you handle specialist Latin content (legal, medical, technical)?

We translate Catholic parish baptism and marriage records (frequently Latin) for immigration and genealogy, plus scholarly and liturgical texts.

05Does each Latin translation include a certificate?

Yes. Each Latin translation ships on our letterhead with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy citing 8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3), the USCIS regulation for foreign-language documents.

06Is my Latin content confidential?

Every Latin file is handled under NDA, encrypted in transit and at rest (TLS · AES-256) and retained per your instructions. HIPAA and GDPR workflows are available on request with a Business Associate Agreement.
