Common questions
Answers about turnaround, certification, and file formats
Turnaround
How long does a translation take?
Timing depends on document length, complexity, and language pair. Your custom quote states the expected turnaround before you approve the order.
Certification
What makes a translation certified?
A certified translation is available only when the required certification process is provided for your document. We will confirm whether certification is needed during review and never imply government accreditation.
File formats
Which document formats can I upload?
Send clear scans or photographs in common formats such as PDF, JPG, or PNG. If your file is unusual, tell us during the quote request and we will advise how to proceed.
