Prism Linguistics provides certified English translation of Serbian documents in Cyrillic or Latin script for USCIS, the courts and employers, and Serbian interpreters for hearings, depositions, medical appointments and immigration interviews in Cincinnati and across the United States.
Certified Serbian to English translation is where a Serbian translator earns the fee: birth and marriage extracts, divorce decrees, university diplomas and transcripts, and police clearance certificates, in either script, translated in full with every stamp and annotation.
Two scripts, one language. Cyrillic is the official script of Serbia and Latin is used just as widely, so the same izvod iz matične knjige rođenih (extract from the register of births) can arrive in either, and a Serbian translator has to read both without slowing down. Serbia issues the extract in a domestic form and in an international multilingual form; consulates can order either for citizens abroad, and apostilles come from the courts. USCIS wants every field, stamp and handwritten annotation translated, not the printed grid alone.
Serbian records also come from outside Serbia: from Serbs born in Bosnia or Croatia before 1991, whose extracts carry the header of a Yugoslav republic that no longer exists, and from families whose 1980s documents are headed SFRJ. We reproduce the issuing authority exactly as printed and explain the history in a translator's note. Names lose their diacritics on US records, so Đorđević becomes Djordjevic or Dordevic on a driver's licence; we spell to match the passport and note the variant on the original. Diplomas and transcripts from Serbian universities, marriage certificates, divorce decrees and police clearance certificates follow the same rule.
Every certified Serbian 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 Cincinnati gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in the country.

Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and the University of Cincinnati add further demand. Prism is approached for Pulaar, Soninke and Kirundi work that other providers turn away.

Serbian translation for USCIS in Cincinnati comes up in spouse and parent petitions where the beneficiary's records were issued in Serbia and the sponsor's older ones in Bosnia or Croatia under a state name that has since changed.

Our Serbian interpreters in Cincinnati are professional, experienced linguists who work in state and federal courts, hospitals, law offices and USCIS field offices, and a Serbian interpreting assignment involving Cyrillic exhibits is staffed with someone who reads them at speed.
The National Center for State Courts offers its interpreter oral exam as Bosnian-Croatian-Serbian, and states such as Washington certify court interpreters under that combined label, so a court will usually accept a BCS-certified interpreter for a Serbian speaker. Tell us the court and the case type and we match the credential the judge will expect. Where the interpreter is asked to sight-translate a Cyrillic exhibit on the stand, we say so at booking, because not every BCS interpreter reads Cyrillic at speed.
The people who need a Serbian interpreter are mostly older: the parents of the 1990s and 2000s arrivals, at a hospital where any provider taking federal funding must supply a Serbian interpreter at no cost, at a naturalization interview where the interpreter renders the answer without improving it, or as a witness whose English is fine for the shop floor and not for cross-examination. We ask at intake whether the speaker grew up in Serbia, Bosnia or Croatia, because everyday vocabulary shifts and the interpreter should not be guessing. The Serbian-American population is concentrated in Illinois, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana and California, and the Census Bureau counts Serbian speakers together with Bosnian and Croatian as Serbo-Croatian.
For an in-person assignment in Cincinnati we assign a Serbian 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.
Serbian is unusual among European languages in that it's written in two scripts: Cyrillic and Latin, both officially recognised in Serbia. For US-bound documents you'll need translators comfortable with either, and the choice usually depends on the source document's origin. Serbian has around 9 million native speakers and is mutually intelligible with Bosnian and Croatian in spoken form. The Serbian-American community sits primarily in Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Phoenix, with significant Orthodox Church-driven activity. We translate Serbian civil documents, court papers, and academic records for USCIS, US universities, and credential evaluators.
