Prism Linguistics provides certified English translation of Tajik and Russian civil records issued in Tajikistan, and Tajik interpreters for USCIS interviews, court hearings and medical appointments in Denver and across the United States.
Tajik to English Translation Services in Denver
Certified Tajik to English translation is the core of Prism's Tajik translation services: ZAGS certificates, Soviet-era Russian records, diplomas and passports, each translated in full by a qualified Tajik translator and delivered with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy prepared to meet USCIS requirements.
One family, two surname systems. Civil registry offices (ZAGS) across Tajikistan issue birth, marriage and divorce certificates; Soviet-era ones are in Russian, and those issued since independence are in Cyrillic Tajik, commonly with a Russian version alongside. The registry no longer issues birth certificates with Russian-style surnames ending in -ov, -ova, -ev or -eva, or patronymics in -ovich and -ovna, except for ethnic minorities, while older certificates keep them. A father called Rahmonov may therefore have a child registered as Rahmonzoda, and many adults have changed their own names the same way. A translator who silently harmonises the family across documents removes the very discrepancy USCIS will ask about.
We translate each certificate as printed, Tajik and Russian text both, spell names to match the passport and add a translator's note explaining the suffix change where it occurs.
Every certified Tajik 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 Denver gets the same translator, the same price and the same turnaround as one anywhere else in the country.

Denver is a consolidated city and county, the only state capital that is one, and its courts are unusual to match: the Colorado judiciary describes Denver as four constitutionally separate courts. Felonies, larger civil suits and domestic relations go to Denver District Court in the Second Judicial District. Denver County Court takes state misdemeanors, traffic, small claims, protection orders and preliminary hearings, and serves as the city's municipal court too. Our only office is in New York; a linguist near Denver covers in-person work.
Denver Public Schools lists its eight most common family languages as Spanish, Arabic, Vietnamese, Amharic, French, Somali, Nepali and Dari. The city's own language access plan adds Russian, Burmese, Karen, Pashto and Persian. Colorado's refugee program, whose enrollees concentrate in metro Denver, records Rohingya, Tigrinya, Swahili and Ukrainian among leading arrival languages. Denver Health and the Denver Immigration Court both generate steady interpreting work. Rohingya and Tigrinya are the sort of languages courts approach Prism for.
Tajik Interpreters in Denver
Our Tajik interpreters in Denver are experienced, professional linguists who work in immigration and state courts, hospitals and USCIS field offices, and who hear the difference between Tajik, Dari and Farsi before a Tajik interpreting assignment is confirmed.
Farsi, Dari or Tajik? Tajik is a variety of Persian and is mutually intelligible in speech with Dari and Iranian Farsi, but not in writing, because Tajik uses Cyrillic. A Dari interpreter can usually follow a Tajik speaker in conversation; in a courtroom the Russian loanwords, administrative vocabulary and regional speech of Tajikistan catch them out, so we assign a Tajik speaker where the stakes are legal. Russian is Tajikistan's constitutional language of interethnic communication and many working-age men have lived in Russia, so ask the speaker which language they would rather give evidence in. No state runs a court certification exam in Tajik, so courts use a qualified Tajik interpreter, and this is the kind of rare language courts come to us for. Federally funded hospitals must provide one at no cost. At USCIS the interpreter renders each answer as given.
For an in-person assignment in Denver we assign a Tajik 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 Tajik Language
Tajik is the official language of Tajikistan, with around 8 million speakers. It's a variety of Persian, closely related to Iranian Farsi and Afghan Dari, but written in Cyrillic (since the Soviet era) rather than Perso-Arabic script. The US Tajik-speaking community is small, concentrated in New York, parts of California, and college towns. Our Tajik translation work is occasional, typically USCIS civil documents, academic transcripts, and Central Asian business contracts.

Tajik Translation in Denver: FAQs
My Tajik birth certificate shows my father as Karimov but my passport says Karimzoda. Is that a problem for USCIS?
It is a discrepancy USCIS may query, and the fix is explanation, not correction. Tajikistan's registry stopped issuing Russian-style -ov surnames to newborns, and many adults also changed theirs. We translate each document exactly as printed, with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy, and add a note explaining the suffix change.
Can a Farsi interpreter be used for a Tajik speaker?
In conversation, usually. In court or at an asylum interview we assign a Tajik interpreter, because the Russian loanwords and administrative terms of Tajikistan, and the Cyrillic documents, are where a Farsi interpreter stumbles. No state certifies court interpreters in Tajik; we are a private agency, not a court-appointed vendor.
Do you have an office in Denver?
No. Our only office is in New York. Tajik translation is done remotely from a scan, so location makes no difference to the document work. For in-person interpreting in Denver we assign a Tajik interpreter who is based in or near the city, and phone or video interpreting is available anywhere in the United States.
