Certified and sworn translations
Rules for official translations change from country to country. Some offices accept a translation with a signed statement of accuracy from a qualified translator, others insist on a sworn or court appointed translator, and some also ask for a notary stamp or an apostille.
Tell us which office will receive the document and in which country, and we check what it accepts before we start. If its rules are something we cannot meet, you hear that before you pay anything.
- Names spelled exactly as in the passport
- Stamps, seals and handwriting described in the translation
- Signed paper copies posted when an office asks for them
- Sworn translators through partners where the law requires it

Our linguists at work
Interpreting rooms, review tables and the quiet desks where most of the work happens.
From our clients (example reviews)
A family's certificates translated for a residence application, with every name spelled exactly as in the passports. The office accepted them on the first visit.
The shop now runs in four languages. Every menu and button was checked on the finished pages before launch, which caught mistakes no spreadsheet would have shown.
The interpreter at the supplier meeting kept up with technical detail and quiet asides alike, and both sides left knowing exactly what had been agreed.
Questions about translation and interpreting
Will an office accept your certified translation?
It depends on the office and the country. Tell us where the translation will be used, and we confirm its requirements before starting, including whether a sworn translator, a notary or an apostille is needed.
How do you count words?
We count the words in the original document. For printed or handwritten pages we count them ourselves and confirm the total in the quote, so the price does not change later.
Is my document kept confidential?
Yes. Every linguist signs a confidentiality agreement, files are kept on encrypted systems and deleted after an agreed period, and we are glad to sign your own agreement as well.
Do you use machine translation?
Not for certified, legal or medical work. For large volumes of routine text a client can ask for machine translation followed by full human editing, which we price separately and label clearly.
How fast can urgent work be done?
Short documents can often be returned within 24 hours for an extra 50 percent. If you can, ask before the deadline is close, as the right linguist may need to be booked.
Can an interpreter join by video?
Yes. Interpreters join video calls on the service you already use, and for meetings over two hours two interpreters take turns so the quality holds to the end.
