The translation works using a high-quality scan and does not need to see your source document(s). They translate all text, including headers, footers, signatures, stamps, and minuscule text. They will also format it in a fashion that is close to the original, possibly with footnotes. Finally, they include an attestation and an individual stamp confirming their qualifications, court sworn-in status, and correct and comprehensive translation.

The end product is a tangible document in which the translator prints the scanned original, adds the translation to the back, and stamps both pieces of paper so they cannot be separated.

Certified translations are about more than just the word count. Certified translations must adhere to strict legally enforced criteria, and even seemingly basic papers can be extremely complicated. So we consider everything (the text, how easy it will be to format, any small print on the document, stamps, signatures, seals, abbreviations we'll need to look up, footnotes we'll need to include). A one-page certificate may cost between 65 and 75 euros, including VAT and registered postal shipping. Take a look at our list of products and services; you might find your certificate there. If you don't see it there, we'll email you a quote.

It takes us around 3-4 days to complete and certify a short translation (1-2 pages), after which we will either send it to you via post, registered mail, or arrange for you to pick it up. If the turnaround time is longer than expected, we will notify you.
