USCIS Offices and Immigration Courts in South Florida
Miami-Dade and Broward applicants deal with these federal offices. Anything not in English that you hand in at these offices needs an English translation.

What USCIS and the Miami Courts Look For
For applications and interviews, the federal rule is 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Nothing in a foreign language goes in without a complete English translation, and the translator certifies that it is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate from that language into English.
Both Miami immigration courts follow 8 CFR 1003.33. A foreign-language filing must include an English translation and a certification signed by the translator, stating competence and a true and accurate translation. The Immigration Court Practice Manual (EOIR Policy Manual, Part II, chapter 2.3(a)) also requires the translator's address and telephone number.
Every certificate we issue is signed and dated and gives the translator's name and contact details. Nothing is summarized: seals, stamps and margin notes are translated along with the text. More detail is on our USCIS certified translation and legal translation pages.
Consulates in Miami
A passport or civil record a consulate issues in its own language still needs an English translation before you file it with USCIS or an immigration court.
| Country | Consulate address |
|---|---|
| Mexico | 2555 Ponce de León Blvd, 4th floor, Coral Gables, FL 33134 (entrance on Valencia Ave.) |
| Colombia | 280 Aragon Avenue, Coral Gables, FL 33134 |
| Argentina | 1101 Brickell Ave., Suite 900, North Tower, Miami, FL 33131 |
| Haiti | 259 SW 13th St., Miami, FL 33130 |
Addresses are from each consulate's own website or embassy. Many other countries have consulates in Miami; check the consulate's official site for hours and appointments before you go.
Divorce Filings in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit
Miami-Dade County is the Eleventh Judicial Circuit. Its Family Court Self-Help divorce instructions say that if your marriage license is in a foreign language, you must also submit a full English translation. The translator signs it and certifies that it is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate.
Our certificate covers each of those points. Order a translation of the whole document, not only the names and dates, because the instructions ask for a full translation. See marriage certificate translation and divorce decree translation.
The circuit also has a Department of Translation and Interpretation. Its FAQ separates the two roles: a translator converts written text into written text in another language, while an interpreter works with spoken language. If you need an interpreter at a hearing, ask the court.
Marriage Records From the Miami-Dade Clerk
The Miami-Dade Clerk of the Court and Comptroller issues certified copies of Miami-Dade marriage licenses online, by mail or in person. Licenses from 1971 to the present can be ordered online. A certified copy costs $9 for the first copy and $7 for each additional copy.
International orders must be sent by mail, with payment in US dollars. Mail requests go to the Marriage License Bureau, Overtown Transit Village South, 601 NW 1 Court, Suite 1900, Miami, FL 33136.
Florida has no residency or citizenship requirement for a marriage license, the Clerk says. A non-US citizen without a Social Security number may use a passport number instead. For USCIS, a foreign marriage certificate must be filed with a full English translation.
Languages Spoken in Miami-Dade and Broward

In Miami-Dade, 75.7% of residents aged 5 and over speak a language other than English at home. In Broward County, 38.4% of residents are foreign-born and 45.8% speak another language at home.

Documents From South Florida's Language Communities
Spanish and Haitian Creole are widely spoken in Miami-Dade and Broward, and Portuguese is part of a sizeable Census language group. These are documents we translate from each.
| Language | Documents | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Spanish | Peruvian RENIEC records and Argentine Registro Civil certificates | The DNI number and any Libro, Acta or Folio reference are kept exactly |
| Haitian Creole and French | Actes de naissance and Haitian identity cards (CIN) and NIF cards | Card numbers and dates are copied exactly, and both sides of a card are translated |
| Portuguese | Brazilian Certidão de Nascimento and Certidão de Casamento | Brazilian and Portuguese records use different registry terms; we keep each as issued |
A record that mixes two languages is translated in full, whichever language each part is in.
