Prism Language Solutions is a translation and interpreting agency based at 100 Church Street in Lower Manhattan, serving clients in every state. We produce certified document translations for USCIS, courts, universities and employers, and we supply court, medical and USCIS interpreters in person, by phone and by video. The agency is operated by Prism Linguistics, a New York language company that has served the US market for more than fifteen years. Every assignment is handled by a qualified human linguist.

Why a second brand. The company started in New York translating documents for immigration attorneys and grew, as clients asked, into court interpreting, hospital interpreting, subtitling and localization. Prism Language Solutions is the part of that business that most people actually need: a certified translation that a USCIS officer or a court clerk will accept without a second look, and an interpreter who turns up prepared. This site is written around those two jobs, page by page, without the padding. What we are not. We are a private agency. No court lists us as an appointed vendor, USCIS accredits no translation company and so does not accredit us, and we do not employ interpreters as staff. Courts, hospitals and attorneys use us because we can supply a qualified linguist in a language they cannot find elsewhere, and because the translations we certify are complete and formatted so they can be checked. That is the whole basis of the business, and we would rather say it plainly than dress it up.- Certified translations prepared to meet USCIS requirements
- Human linguists only, matched to the subject
- Fixed written quote within 60 minutes in business hours
- One office in New York, linguists in every state
One office, linguists in every state
The office is in Tribeca, and it is the only one. Project managers work from it; translators and interpreters do not. For a document, location is irrelevant: the translator who is best for a Gujarati school transcript may be in Edison, Houston or Ahmedabad. For an in-person interpreting assignment we assign someone based in or near the city, so a deposition in Phoenix is covered by a Phoenix interpreter, not a flight from New York. When a page on this site names a city, it is describing that city's courts, agencies and language mix, not a branch office.
How translators and interpreters join the network
Translators work only into their native language and are tested on writing in that language, not just on understanding the source. We record credentials rather than advertise them: state court interpreter certification, CCHI and NBCMI medical certification, ATA certification, degrees and documented experience. Where a setting requires a certified interpreter, one is assigned. Every interpreter working in a courtroom, hospital, school or police setting is background-checked before the first assignment.
Quality is checked on live work, not once at onboarding. Certified translations pass through a second linguist who reads the English against the original. Clients rate interpreters after assignments, and a linguist whose work falls short comes off the roster. It is an unglamorous process and it is why the certificates we sign hold up.
What a certified translation from us looks like
A complete English rendering of the document, including stamps, seals, handwritten notes and anything on the reverse; laid out to mirror the original; a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy naming the translator and stating that the translation is complete and accurate; and the source document attached. That is the format 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) describes for USCIS and the one courts and universities most commonly ask for. Notarization is added when the recipient wants it. The details, document by document, are on the certified translation page.
How we work with you
- A fixed written quote within 60 minutes during business hours, Eastern time. It states the price, the delivery date and what is included, and nothing is charged until you confirm it.
- A named project manager who reads your email and answers the phone. Urgent interpreting requests are taken 24 hours a day.
- Guide prices published openly on the pricing page, so you know the range before you ask.
- Corrections at no charge if a translation we certified is queried on a matter of format or completeness.
Who reviews these pages
