Email or text a photo of the document first and we can quote before you come in.

About the translator's affidavit

Once the translation is prepared, the translator swears before the notary that it corresponds to the original, and the notary witnesses and seals it. Some organizations say "certified translation" and others "notarized translation" — please confirm which one they require.

Turnaround

Short standard documents are usually ready the same or next day, depending on length and volume. For longer files we confirm the timeline and fee before starting.
