Hungarian to English Translation Services in Fullerton
Certified Hungarian translation is the larger part of our Hungarian work for USCIS, courts and universities: birth and marriage extracts from the state registers, school and university records, and Transylvanian certificates issued in Romanian, each signed and certified.
The document is the anyakönyvi kivonat. Hungarian civil records are extracts from the state registers: the születési anyakönyvi kivonat for a birth, the házassági for a marriage, issued by the registrar (anyakönyvvezető) at the town hall where the event occurred, and since July 2014 from the national electronic register. An extract issued today looks nothing like the one your parents kept, and a family often submits both. We translate each version as printed, registry numbers and marginal annotations included, because USCIS compares them.
Names are where Hungarian translations go wrong. Hungarian writes the family name first, so Kovács István on the extract is Istvan Kovacs on the passport, and a married woman may appear as Kovács Istvánné, her husband's name plus a suffix, with her birth name elsewhere on the record. We match the passport and note every form. Many Hungarian speakers were not born in Hungary: about a million people in Romania and 460,000 in Slovakia gave Hungarian as their mother tongue at the 2021 censuses, so a Hungarian-speaking applicant may hold a Romanian or Slovak certificate naming a Transylvanian town in a language the family never used. We translate the language on the paper and add the Hungarian place name alongside.
Every certified Hungarian 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 Fullerton gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in the country.

For Fullerton's Hungarian speakers and the attorneys, hospitals, USCIS offices and universities that serve them, Prism Linguistics provides qualified Hungarian translators in Fullerton and professional Hungarian interpreters, with certified Hungarian translation of anyakönyvi kivonat extracts and Transylvanian records.
Fullerton sits in Orange County. Because California unified its trial courts there is no municipal court here; everything is heard in the Superior Court of California, County of Orange. Its North Justice Center in Fullerton takes criminal, traffic and limited civil matters, evictions, civil harassment restraining orders and small claims from Fullerton and the surrounding north county cities, plus countywide felony arraignments after preliminary hearing. Prism Linguistics works from one head office, in New York, and assigns a linguist based near Fullerton for in-person work.
Fullerton Joint Union High School District publishes its Annual Notice to Parents and Guardians in English, Spanish and Korean, and Fullerton School District runs both Spanish and Korean dual language academies, reflecting one of Orange County's largest Korean populations alongside its Spanish-speaking families. California State University, Fullerton adds further demand. Courts and attorneys come to Prism for rare languages other providers cannot supply, and for certified translation supporting USCIS and immigration filings.
Hungarian Interpreters in Fullerton
Our Hungarian interpreters in Fullerton are experienced, professional linguists who work in hospitals, deposition rooms, USCIS field offices and state courts, booked for Hungarian because no neighbouring language can stand in for it.
Who needs a Hungarian interpreter: a parent visiting from Hungary at a medical appointment, a spouse at a green card interview, a witness at a deposition in a dispute with a Hungarian company, an older relative whose English has faded. Hungarian interpreting in the US is a smaller, older market than the translation side: Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania hold the largest populations of Hungarian ancestry on 2019 Census figures, but most of that community is second or third generation and does not need a Hungarian interpreter.
No state runs a court certification exam in Hungarian and it is not among the languages tested through the National Center for State Courts, so courts use a registered or otherwise qualified Hungarian interpreter; tell us the court and the case type and we confirm what it accepts. We are a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor. Providers that take federal funding must offer a Hungarian interpreter at no cost, and at USCIS the interpreter renders the answer without improving it. Hungarian is unrelated to every language around it, so a German, Slovak or Romanian interpreter cannot cover a Hungarian speaker, while a Hungarian interpreter from Transylvania or Vojvodina will know the Romanian or Serbian names of the institutions in the file.
For an in-person assignment in Fullerton we assign a Hungarian 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.

About the Hungarian Language
Hungarian is unusual in Europe: a Uralic language unrelated to the Slavic, Germanic, and Romance languages that surround it. It has around 13 million speakers, mostly in Hungary but also in Romania, Slovakia, Serbia, and Ukraine. The Hungarian-American community took its modern shape after the 1956 uprising, when refugees resettled across New York, Cleveland, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Most of our Hungarian work is genealogy and dual-citizenship documents, Hungarian birth, marriage, and church records, alongside the occasional business contract and academic transcript. Hungarian uses the Latin alphabet with several distinctive accented characters.

Hungarian Translation in Fullerton: FAQs
Can you translate a Hungarian birth certificate for USCIS?
Yes. The szuletesi anyakonyvi kivonat is translated in full, whether a pre-2014 paper extract or one issued from the electronic register, with registry numbers and marginal annotations. Names are spelled to match the passport, given name before family name, with the Hungarian form and any married-name suffix noted, and it comes with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy.
My birth certificate is Romanian but my family speaks Hungarian. Which translator do I need?
A Romanian to English translator, because USCIS needs the language on the paper translated. We handle both and add the Hungarian place name beside the Romanian one so the certificate connects to other family records. The same applies to Slovak and Serbian certificates held by Hungarian speakers.
Do you have an office in Fullerton?
No. Our only office is in New York. Hungarian translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in Fullerton we assign a Hungarian interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in the United States.
