Translators and interpreters in Illinois
Where language services land in Illinois
From Chicago, Aurora, Rockford to the rest of Illinois, demand for translation and interpreting clusters around immigration filings, court proceedings, healthcare, and business. We match every project to the receiving office or venue — USCIS, the courts, a hospital, or a licensing board — so it lands right the first time.
Certified document translation and qualified interpreting are handled by professional human linguists and reviewed for accuracy. Certified translations include a signed statement of accuracy, and notarization is available whenever a receiving authority requires it.
Link Translations has connected clients with professional linguists since 1995. If the specialist you need is not listed in Illinois, our nationwide network and remote options mean we can still staff your project, usually within hours.

I translated the N-400, or U.S. citizenship application into Spanish and conducted the final review for applicants submitting their applications to the government for World Relief.
