When performing English certified translations, it is imperative that our English translators be provided with a clear and high-quality scan of your document in order to ensure that the translation will be accurate. Furthermore, if there are any stamps or markings of any kind on the reverse of the document, please include a scan of this within your email as well.

How to send your English documents to us for translation

For a English certified translation, we can work from high-quality scans. Luckily, there is no need to send the originals in order to perform a certified translation correctly. However, it is of course very important that you send the scans in high resolution so that everything is clear for the English certified translator. If there are any markings or stamps on the reverse of the documents, these also should be scanned and sent across to us, as they also need to be translated.

We accept all formats of documents for English certified translation; PDF, JPEG, Microsoft Word, etc. Once we have received your request and your documents for certified translation, we will run a word count on the files and revert very quickly with a quote and timescale. This quote is not at all binding, and we will not proceed with your English certified translation until you confirm that you wish to proceed. Our standard processing time for small jobs is two to three business days. We do offer a rush service (at an additional cost) if you require your English certified translation more urgently.
