Frequently asked questions
Questions about certified document translation
Share the receiving organisation’s written instructions when you are uncertain about certification, notarisation, authentication or physical-copy requirements.
Ask About Your DocumentWhat is a certified document translation?
It is a complete professional translation accompanied by a signed statement confirming that the translation is complete and accurate. The certification also includes the relevant identifying details and certification date.
What is included with the completed translation?
The standard package includes the translated document, clear professional formatting and a signed certification statement. A print-ready PDF is supplied, while editable files and printed copies can be discussed where suitable.
How quickly can certified documents be translated?
The available turnaround depends on the language pair, document length, readability, formatting and certification route. Priority, same-day and 24-hour options may be available for eligible documents after the complete file has been reviewed.
Will the receiving authority accept the translation?
Acceptance remains the decision of the receiving authority. Provide its name and any written instructions so the certification and delivery package can be prepared around the stated requirements. Translation certification does not guarantee approval of the wider application.
Do I need to send the original physical document?
A clear PDF, scan or high-quality photograph is normally sufficient for the initial review and translation. You should separately check whether the receiving authority requires an original document or a printed certified copy.
Are stamps, seals and handwritten notes translated?
Readable text inside stamps, seals, marginal notes and handwritten entries is translated or identified appropriately. These details should be clearly visible in the file you upload.
Can multi-page documents be certified?
Yes. Transcripts, contracts, court bundles and other multi-page records can be translated as connected document sets. Sending all pages together helps keep names, dates, terminology, pagination and document references consistent.
Do I need notarisation or an apostille as well?
Not necessarily. Notarisation, sworn translation and apostille-related processing are separate formalities. Add them only when the receiving authority specifically requires them or when the international document process calls for an additional authentication step.
Which file types can I upload?
PDF, JPG, PNG and Word files are commonly suitable for review. Photographs should be well lit, uncropped and clear enough to read every field, stamp, seal, number and handwritten entry.
How is the price calculated?
Pricing depends on the language pair, amount of text, number of pages, formatting, readability, handwritten content, certification route and required deadline. The complete file should be reviewed before a fixed project quote is confirmed.
Send the complete document and confirm your deadline
Include every page, the source and target languages, the receiving authority, any certification instructions and the exact date and time you need the translation.
