GobiernoUSA.gov: About Us


GobiernoUSA.gov: Quiénes somos: Vea esta tema en español

Need to find U.S. Government information and services in Spanish? You've come to the right place! GobiernoUSA.gov is the U.S. Government's official portal in Spanish and offers current and authoritative information on federal, state, and local government programs and services in areas such as immigration, federal benefits, employment, business, housing, education, health, nutrition, and safety, and many more.

Launched as FirstGov en español in April 2003, GobiernoUSA.gov offers Spanish speakers easy access to official information and services from the U.S. Government in their language. The site is part of USA.gov, the official web portal of the U.S. Government.

GobiernoUSA.gov is part of a broader effort of the U.S. Government to ensure that people with low English proficiency can have meaningful access to important government programs and services. This effort is based on a Presidential Executive Order titled "Improving Access to Services for Persons with Limited English Proficiency." To read more about this initiative, visit the Low English Proficiency website.

In support of this effort, GobiernoUSA.gov has as its goals:

  • To facilitate access for people with low English proficiency to government information and services, such as applying for benefits, locating health information, and completing government forms;
  • To serve as an educational tool for Spanish-speakers to learn about the U.S. Government, its programs, and services;
  • To provide resources for educators who work with students learning both English and Spanish;
  • To highlight current government initiatives that benefit the Hispanic community; and
  • To strengthen the quality of Spanish-language information and services available on U.S. Government websites.

The Office of Citizen Services and Communications (OCSC) of the U.S. General Services Administration created and manages USA.gov and GobiernoUSA.gov. In addition, OCSC operates and maintains a toll-free National Contact Center, an e-mail response system, and a print publications center. To learn more about USA.gov, visit About Us.
