A certified translation comes with the translator’s signed statement that it is complete and accurate. Agencies, courts, universities and licensing boards typically require it; a landlord or internal business document usually does not. Confirm what the receiving party requires before ordering.
Sometimes — they are different things. Notarization verifies who signed the translator’s statement. An apostille authenticates a document for use in a Hague Convention country. Tell us the destination country and receiving office and we will tell you which applies.
A short document such as a birth certificate or diploma typically takes a few business days. Longer or technical material takes proportionally longer. Rush service is available at an added rate.
Yes. If a signer is not fully comfortable in English, an interpreter protects everyone — a notary must be satisfied the signer understands what they are signing. We can arrange a bilingual notary or a separate interpreter in the same booking.
