Hi Laura, I honestly don’t know what the current situation is, but up until a few years ago there was no examination or legal institution in the USA from which a translator could obtain official certification. I doubt that this situation has changed, but it might very well have. In my country (Venezuela) the certification is issued by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Justice, after a previous examination. I suggest contacting the language department of a University close by, to see if they can provide you with some information
