Immigration Courts and USCIS in North Texas
These are the federal immigration offices for the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
| Office | Address |
|---|---|
| Dallas Immigration Court | 1100 Commerce Street, Suite 1060, Dallas, TX 75242 |
| Fort Worth Immigration Adjudication Center | 819 Taylor Street, Suite 600, Fort Worth, TX 76102 |
| USCIS Dallas Field Office | Use the address printed on your interview or appointment notice |
USCIS field offices do not take walk-ins, and USCIS asks applicants to confirm the office address on their notice. Court addresses are from the Executive Office for Immigration Review. The Fort Worth center is an Immigration Adjudication Center, not a regular immigration court; your notice tells you where your case is heard.
What Immigration Courts and USCIS Ask For
In the Dallas court and at the Fort Worth center, 8 CFR 1003.33 applies: no foreign-language document is filed without an English translation and the translator's signed certification. In it, the translator confirms both their competence and the accuracy of the translation. The Immigration Court Practice Manual wants the translator's address and telephone number on it as well.
USCIS has the same core rule for applications: a full English translation with the translator's certification of completeness, accuracy and competence (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)). A summary is not enough, so every stamp, seal and handwritten note is translated.
Every certificate carries the translator's signature, the date, their name and how to contact them. Court records, police certificates and judgments are covered on our legal translation page.
Consulates in Dallas
These are three of the consulates in Dallas. Records they issue, if not in English, need translating before USCIS or a Texas court will use them.
| Country | Address | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Mexico | 1210 River Bend Drive, Dallas, TX 75247 | Consulate General |
| Canada | 500 N. Akard Street, Suite 2900, Dallas, TX 75201 | Notarial, passport and citizenship services; its site also lists visa and immigration services |
| South Korea | 14001 Dallas Parkway, Suite 450, Dallas, TX 75240 | Consulate |
Check the consulate's own website for hours and appointments before you go.
Marriage Licenses in Dallas and Tarrant Counties
In Dallas County, the County Clerk's Vital Records office issues marriage licenses. Completing the Twogether in Texas premarital course cuts the fee by $60 and waives the 72-hour waiting period.
In Tarrant County, which includes Fort Worth and Arlington, the County Clerk accepts a current, unexpired US or foreign passport as identification. There is a 72-hour waiting period, the ceremony must take place within 90 days, and applicants for a formal license can apply by video.
If you married in another country, your foreign marriage certificate is your proof of marriage. USCIS and Texas DPS (for a name change) both want that certificate in a certified English translation. See marriage certificate translation.

Dallas and Tarrant counties have large Vietnamese, Arabic, Chinese and Korean communities. Here is what we often translate for each, with one point to know.
| Language | Documents | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Spanish | RENAP birth, marriage and identity records from Guatemala | Registry numbers and stamps are copied exactly as issued |
| Vietnamese | Residence confirmations and CCCD identity cards | Since 2023, residence is shown this way instead of the old Ho Khau book |
| Korean | Family relation, basic and marriage relation certificates | Family relation certificates span several generations, where older and current romanizations of names can differ |
| Arabic | Medical diplomas and transcripts | Often needed by foreign medical graduates applying through ECFMG |
| Chinese | Police clearance certificates (no-criminal-record certificates) | Issued by the public security bureau and often notarized before use abroad |
We translate every stamp, seal and handwritten note, whichever language the record is in.
