Which translation service do you need?

Follow the wording used by the receiving authority

A certified translation is normally appropriate when the instructions ask for a complete translation with a signed certification statement.

Do not add notarization, a sworn-translator route or an apostille automatically. Those steps should be used when the destination authority specifically asks for them.

Send the Requirement for Review
  • The instruction says “certified translation”

    Choose certified document translation. This normally includes the complete translation and a signed Certificate of Accuracy.

  • The instruction says “sworn translator”

    Choose sworn translation and provide the destination country and authority so the correct translator route can be confirmed.

  • The instruction asks for notarization

    Choose notarized translation when the translator’s or certifier’s signature needs formal notarial verification.

  • The document will be used internationally

    Confirm whether the original, the translation or both must be notarized, apostilled or otherwise legalized.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about translation services

Send the receiving authority’s instructions with your documents when the required certification route is unclear.

Ask About Your Document
What is included in a certified translation?

A certified translation includes a complete translation of the visible source content and a signed Certificate of Accuracy with the relevant translator or agency details.

How quickly can an expedited translation be delivered?

Turnaround options include two-hour, same-day, 12-hour and 24-hour services. Availability depends on document length, language pair, readability, certification route and the time the complete files are received.

What is the difference between certified and sworn translation?

A certified translation includes a signed accuracy statement. A sworn translation is completed through a sworn-translator system recognized under the relevant country’s rules. Use the word used by the receiving authority.

Does every certified translation need to be notarized?

No. Notarization should normally be added only when the receiving organization asks for a notarized translation or requires formal verification of the relevant signature.

Do I need an apostille before the document is translated?

It depends on the destination authority. Some processes apostille the original first and translate the complete pack. Others require the translation itself to be notarized and authenticated. Confirm the required sequence before ordering.

Can I send a photograph instead of a scanned PDF?

A clear photograph can be reviewed as long as every edge, field, stamp, seal and handwritten note is visible. A new image may be requested when text is blurred, cropped or obscured by glare.

How is the price calculated?

Pricing depends on the document type, length, language pair, complexity, certification route and requested turnaround. The price and timing should be confirmed before translation begins.

Can several documents be translated as one order?

Yes. Sending the complete document set together helps maintain consistent names, dates, addresses, job titles and terminology across the entire submission.
