What is a certified translation?
A certified translation is a complete, accurate translation paired with a signed statement of accuracy. Many countries and consulates require it alongside the apostille when your document isn't in their official language.
Getting the order right matters — some destinations want the document translated before the apostille, others after. We confirm the exact requirement so it isn't rejected.
We coordinate the translation and the apostille together, so it's one process handled by one team.

What is a certified translation?+
A certified translation is a complete, accurate translation accompanied by a signed statement of accuracy from the translator or agency. Many countries and consulates require it alongside the apostille when your document is in English.
Do I need a certified translation with my apostille?+
It depends on the destination country and the receiving authority. Some require the document translated before or after the apostille; we confirm the exact requirement so it isn't rejected.
Which languages do you handle?+
We coordinate certified translation into and from a wide range of languages. Tell us the language pair and we'll confirm turnaround and price.
Can you translate and apostille together?+
Yes. We coordinate the translation and the apostille in one process, in the correct order for your destination country.
Is the document translated before or after the apostille?+
It depends on the receiving authority. Some countries want the original apostilled first and then translated; others want the translation attached to the source document and apostilled together. We confirm the correct order for your destination before we begin, so it isn't rejected on a technicality.
How much does a certified translation cost, and how fast is it?+
Cost depends mainly on the length of the document and the language pair, and we quote a flat price up front — no surprises. Standard turnaround is typically a few business days, with rush options available when you're on a deadline.
