Frequently asked questions

How fast can I get certified translation services?

Turnaround depends on the language pair, document length, and whether you need notarization.

Is a certified translator in Los Angeles required?

Many authorities accept certified translations delivered digitally, as long as the certification statement is correctly drafted.

Do you translate stamps and seals?

Yes, we translate stamps, seals, annotations, and official endorsements where visible.

What’s the difference between certified and notarized translation?

A certified translation includes a signed certification statement, while a notarized translation adds notary verification.

What must a certified translation include?

A certified translation must include a full translation of all visible text, a signed Certificate of Accuracy, and the translator’s full name, contact details, signature, and date. This is the standard required by USCIS, the UK Home Office, courts, and most official bodies.

Can I send a phone photo instead of a scanned PDF?

Yes. A clear photo is fine. We’ll confirm if it’s readable and advise if a better image is needed for any page before we start.

How much does a certified translation cost?

Pricing depends on document length, language pair, and turnaround. Short standard documents are typically priced per page; multi-page packs are quoted as a set. Send your file for a free quote.
