This is the most effective, affordable, professional, and fastest translation services I have come across with. I initially needed their services to translate my birth certificate, and Peter was apt... to help me get the process started. The process is straightforward, and I really appreciate how they provided a draft before finalizing & sending it to me. When I received my finalized translated birth certificate, it was certified, notarized, and just looked impeccable. I ended up choosing to use them again in 2022, spoke once again with dear Peter (since I needed any additional documents translated, and I feel confident with the quality of their work). I continue to recommend them as they are local and the quality of their work is outstanding. Thank you Peter for working with me to get all my doc translated, certified and notarized!read more

How Much Does a Certified Translation Cost? 

What is the real price of a certified translation?  So-called certified translation services appear constantly on Google.  They advertise that they offer the best certified translation often at $20 per page, $24 per page, $30 per page.  They also claim to be near Houston or near Dallas, and even list addresses in expensive office buildings. Eventually, you find out that nothing they claim is true. 

If you read the fine print, these prices are good only for documents with 200 or 250 words per page.  They charge extra for the certification, the notarization, and the hard copies you may require.  Most often, your translation is sent overseas, often to low-paid translators working on unsecured computers and networks in coffee shops and Internet cafes who retype your document and run it through Google translate.  What happens next usually results in a terrible experience.  The translation is refused by USCIS or another agency because of inferior quality, the certification is refused because it lacks proper qualifications, or the company goes out of business, and you never receive your document.  Eventually, you get angry and decide to go to their office only to find out that it was only a “virtual address.” They never actually existed at the address. In the end, you get no acceptable certified translation nor refund.  In our 20 years of experience, we’ve heard it all from customers with similar experiences. 

Our translation of your document will meet the requirements for a USCIS certified translation.  If you need additional wording or special wording, we use what is required.  Just let us know before we start the translation.  You will have peace of mind knowing that we never charge extra to certify and notarize your documents. 

Since we don’t charge to certify and notarize translations, we frequently send PDF copies of certified and notarized translations to our clients, along with versions in the native file.  These certified translations state that the translation is, to the best of our professional knowledge and belief, a true, accurate and faithful translation of the document provided to us.
