Got Questions About Certified Document Translation?
Are your translations accepted by official government authorities?
Yes. All certified translations are performed by court-sworn, publicly appointed translators whose credentials are registered and recognized by courts, embassies, and civil registries.
Do I need to send the original paper documents?
In most cases, an electronic scan or high-resolution photograph is sufficient. The translator notes on the certification whether the translation was prepared from an original or a certified copy.
How quickly can I receive my certified translation?
Standard personal documents (birth certificates, driver licenses) are typically completed within 24 to 48 hours. Express same-day service is available on request.
