Local Translate LLC is a North Carolina translation company. Our core work is certified translation of personal, legal and medical documents: birth and marriage certificates, diplomas and transcripts, court and immigration paperwork.

Every certified translation is delivered with a signed Certificate of Accuracy meeting USCIS requirements and formatting that mirrors the source document. Names and place names are transliterated to a documented standard agreed with the client in advance. We also handle pharmaceutical and medical translation, supported by an in-house glossary of 40,000+ terms, and legal, contract and technical translation.

Accepted by USCIS, courts, universities and credential evaluators such as WES and ECE.

We work turnkey: you send the source as it comes, including scanned PDFs and photos, and we return a finished, formatted file. No CAT package is required on your side. Production is AI-assisted: we translate with Claude under our own documented prompts, client glossaries and style rules, and every file is then post-edited in full by a human linguist before delivery. The linguist who signs the Certificate of Accuracy is the one who read the file. Typical throughput is 20-30 minutes per certified page, so batches of several hundred pages are handled without extending deadlines. We disclose our AI-assisted process before any engagement and are happy to complete your AI usage addendum and security questionnaire. Standard turnaround for personal documents is 24 hours. NDA signed on request.
