How the work runs

  1. Confirm scope

    Receiving party, document type, certification requirement, and deadline recorded in writing before any work begins.

  2. Match a subject specialist

    Translator selected by domain experience (medical, legal, technical, financial, academic, civil) rather than assigned at random.

  3. Translate with terminology preserved

    A file glossary is built per matter so key terms, party names, and defined terms render the same way across every page.

  4. Run reviewer pass

    A second qualified linguist checks the translation against the source for accuracy and terminology consistency before delivery.

  5. Certified delivery

    Signed certification statement attached when the receiving office requires one; layout preserved (headers, signatures, tables, seals).

Each document translation project starts with a written request check confirming receiving party, document type, language pair, certification requirement, terminology preferences, deadline, file format, and confidentiality controls. Translators are matched to the document subject (medical, legal, technical, financial, academic, civil) rather than assigned at random. Files are handled under NDA on request, with named-translator handling for sensitive matters. Standard turnaround for a 1–5 page record is 2–4 working days; longer files and certified work are quoted with a confirmed delivery date in writing.

For document work, DD checks the receiving office, file condition, certificate wording, handling needs, and file format.

Questions teams ask first

What document types are handled?

Civil-status records (birth, marriage, divorce, death), legal documents (contracts, pleadings, evidence, affidavits), medical records (discharge, consent, labs, insurance), academic records (transcripts, diplomas, evaluation), financial documents (statements, tax records, KYC), technical documents (specs, manuals, patents), and business documents (proposals, correspondence). Specialist pages cover each domain in more depth.

What is the difference between certified, notarized, and sworn translation?

A certified translation has the translator's signed statement of accuracy and competence; this is what USCIS requires. A notarized translation adds a notary public's acknowledgment of the translator's signature; the notary does not certify the translation itself. A sworn translation is the European concept where a court-appointed sworn translator's seal makes the translation legally binding; the US does not use sworn translators in this sense.

How are subject-matter translators matched?

Translators are matched to the document subject by domain experience (medical, legal, technical, financial, academic, civil). A medical record never goes to a generic translator; a legal filing never goes to a translator without legal-document experience. The match is recorded in the project file so future work for the same subject can stay with the same name when available.

How long does document translation take?

Standard turnaround for a 1–5 page record (one document, single language pair, clean scan) is 2–4 working days. Longer files, certified work, multi-document filing sets, and rare-language work are quoted with a confirmed delivery date in writing. Expedited turnaround is available when scheduled at the time of request.

How is confidentiality handled?

An NDA is signed before any file transfer when requested. Files are kept on access-restricted storage, named-translator handling is available for sensitive matters, and files are deleted on a defined schedule after project close. Confidentiality terms can be aligned with a matter's protective order on request.

Can a prior glossary or translated reference be reused?

Yes. Share the glossary, prior translated documents, defined-term lists, or style preferences when you send the project details. A file glossary is built per matter so the same key terms, party names, and defined terms render the same way across every document in the filing.

What output formats are supported?

PDF is the standard delivery for documents going to a receiving office. Editable files (DOCX, ODT) are available on request. For technical and business documents, source-format delivery (XLSX, PPTX, IDML, XLIFF) is supported when the workflow requires it.

Can a multi-document filing be handled as one project?

Yes. Multi-document sets are handled with consistent name spelling, defined-term rendering, and terminology decisions applied across every page in the set. A summary of the decisions is delivered alongside the translated documents so the receiving party sees the same vocabulary throughout.
