Greenlandic interpreters for Aurora courts, hospitals, attorneys and USCIS appointments, in person, by phone or by video.
Prism Linguistics provides certified English translation of the Danish and Greenlandic civil records that families from Greenland hold, and Greenlandic (Kalaallisut) interpreters by phone or video for USCIS interviews, court hearings and medical appointments in Aurora and across the United States.
Our Greenlandic interpreters in Aurora are experienced, professional linguists who work with USCIS, immigration and state courts, hospitals and attorneys, and who ask where in Greenland a speaker is from before a Greenlandic interpreting assignment is confirmed.
Kalaallisut is the default, but Greenland has three Inuit languages. West Greenlandic (Kalaallisut) is what most of the roughly 57,000 speakers use; Tunumiit in the east and Inuktun in the far north are separate varieties spoken by a few thousand and a few hundred people, which is why the question of home district comes first. Almost every Greenlander also speaks Danish, so a working-age applicant is often fine with a Danish interpreter; an elderly Greenlander, or anyone giving evidence about home, needs Greenlandic. No state runs a court certification exam in Greenlandic, so a court uses a qualified Greenlandic interpreter, almost always by phone or video; Greenlandic is exactly the kind of rare language courts come to us for. Hospitals that take federal funds must provide a Greenlandic interpreter at no cost. At USCIS the Greenlandic interpreter renders each answer as given.
For an in-person assignment in Aurora we assign a Greenlandic interpreter based in or near the city. Telephone and video interpreting can usually be arranged the same day. We serve courts, attorneys, hospitals, USCIS applicants and private individuals; we are a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor, and we say so up front.
Prism Linguistics supplies professional Greenlandic interpreters in Aurora for USCIS interviews, court hearings, depositions and medical appointments, almost always by phone or video because in-person Greenlandic interpreters are scarce in the United States, together with certified translation of the Danish and Greenlandic records that go with those cases.
Aurora spans three counties - Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas - so where a matter is heard depends on which part of the city it comes from. Felonies and larger civil cases on the Arapahoe County side go to the District Court of the Eighteenth Judicial District, while misdemeanors, traffic cases and small claims are heard in county court, with Adams County Court in Brighton and the Douglas County Combined Courts in Castle Rock covering the remaining sections of the city. The Aurora Municipal Court handles violations of the Aurora Municipal Code, including traffic and criminal offenses and code compliance cases.
Aurora Public Schools centralizes family language support in its Central Language Services Office, which translates district communications such as principal letters and student health and safety notices into Spanish and arranges other languages for schools, alongside the Aurora Welcome Center; the school board has also prohibited staff from relying on children to interpret formal conversations with parents. Prism Linguistics works from a single office in New York and assigns a linguist based near Aurora for in-person court, medical and USCIS-compliant certified translation work. Courts come to us for the rare languages other providers cannot supply.
Local Greenlandic interpreting services in Aurora and the surrounding area draw on the same nationwide network of Greenlandic interpreters, so a court, clinic or attorney in any of the cities below books a Greenlandic interpreter the same way, usually by video.
Our only office is in New York. For in-person work in Aurora we assign a Greenlandic interpreter who is based in or near the city, and the same Greenlandic linguists cover the surrounding area:
Certified Greenlandic to English translation for USCIS covers the personattest and other CPR records, church and school papers, and the newer municipal documents written in Kalaallisut, each translated in full with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy and checked against the Danish text where the record carries both.
Greenlandic paperwork usually arrives in Danish. Greenland has been inside the Danish civil registration system (CPR) since 1972, run by the CPR office in Denmark with the Greenlandic municipalities, and the personal certificate that stands in for a birth certificate (the personattest, which replaced the fødsels- og dåbsattest) comes out of that system in Danish. Kalaallisut has been the sole official language of Greenland since 2009, so newer municipal, school and church papers can be in Greenlandic, in Danish, or in both. Our Greenlandic translators render both texts and note where the versions differ.
Greenlandic names are the trap. A Greenlandic name on a church record and its Danish-spelled form on a passport may not match letter for letter, and Greenlandic words are long compounds that a translator who does not know the language splits in the wrong place. We spell to match the passport and note the variant.
Every certified Greenlandic translation is a complete, word-for-word rendering with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, prepared to meet USCIS requirements. It is done from a clear scan, so a client in Aurora gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in the country.

Greenlandic (Kalaallisut) is the official language of Greenland, an autonomous territory of Denmark with around 50,000 native speakers. It's an Inuit language closely related to Inuktitut, written in the Latin alphabet, with famously long agglutinative words built from many bound morphemes. The US Greenlandic-speaking community is essentially non-existent; translation requests are extremely rare. Greenlandic documents from official sources often have parallel Danish versions, so Danish translation is usually a practical alternative.
A Danish one, usually. Personal certificates from Greenland come out of the Danish CPR system in Danish, so we translate the Danish record in full with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. If the record is bilingual or in Greenlandic only, we translate the Greenlandic text as well.
Yes, by phone or video, because in-person Greenlandic interpreters are scarce in the United States. We ask whether the speaker uses West Greenlandic (Kalaallisut), East Greenlandic or the northern variety. No state certifies court interpreters in Greenlandic. We are a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor.
No. Our only office is in New York. Greenlandic translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in Aurora we assign a Greenlandic interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in the United States.
Every assignment follows our TEP workflow for written work – translation, editing, proofreading – with a free revision policy, and every interpreting booking is managed by a dedicated coordinator to meet regulatory and client requirements.
Our Greenlandic interpreters are vetted for fluency, subject-matter expertise and professional ethics, and certified translation work is handled by certified translators who are members of provincial bodies under CTTIC.
We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year – including American statutory holidays. Confidentiality is protected in line with HIPAA on every assignment.
