The Basics

What Is a Certified Translation?

A certified translation is more than a language conversion. It is a complete, accurate translation of your document accompanied by a signed translator's certificate attesting to its accuracy and completeness, which we then have notarized.

That certificate is what gives the translation official standing. It is why a government office, court, university, or embassy will accept it, and why a translation done by a friend, an app, or an uncertified service will usually be rejected.

What you receive: your translated document, a signed translator's certificate of accuracy, and notarization. If your document also needs an Apostille, we handle that under the same roof.

When You Need a Certified Translation

Your document is not in the destination language

Many countries require official documents to be submitted in their official language. A certified translation makes your document readable and legally acceptable to them.

Your document was issued in another country

A foreign-issued document cannot be apostilled directly in the United States. A certified translation of it can be notarized and authenticated here instead. This is the standard path, and we handle it often.

Immigration, legal, and academic use

Immigration filings, court matters, university admissions, and professional licensing frequently require certified translations of birth certificates, diplomas, transcripts, and records.

The receiving party simply asks for one

Not every translation is mandatory. Some countries and institutions request one as a courtesy so their staff can read your document easily. It is often worth including to avoid a delay.

Pricing

Certified Translation Pricing

$49.00 to $120.00
Per Page

Certified translation is priced per page, not per document. Every translation includes the signed translator's certificate and notarization.

Word count

A dense page of text takes more work than a short certificate. The amount of content on the page is the main driver of price.

Document format

Complex layouts, tables, seals, and handwritten or hard-to-read documents take more time to reproduce accurately.
