Evidence for review
What DD can show before a buyer commits.
This is not a public case study claim. It is DD-owned evidence a buyer can request when the work needs vendor review before a scope is approved.
Ask for proof details- Buyer type
- Legal document translation buyer, vendor manager, or operations lead qualifying DD before sending a live requirement.
- Problem
- The buyer needs scope legal document translation before the file enters the record. scoped by files, audience, language pair, deadline, recipient rules, and review process before quote approval.
- Scope
- Legal document translation work coordinated by DD with written request review, named PM ownership, and review records matched to the request type.
- Constraint
- This page cannot rely on a public case study yet; it must point to DD-owned proof artifacts and disclosure-safe process evidence.
- DD action
- DD confirms the inputs, missing details, staffing option, quality check, and delivery record before production work begins.
- Evidence available
- Private proof can include a request-specific checklist, redacted QA summary format, delivery record format, and sourcing or reviewer notes.
- Outcome
- The buyer can judge whether DD fits the requirement before sending production files or adding this service to a vendor shortlist.
- Disclosure status
- DD-owned proof only. Public outcomes require client approval; redacted process artifacts can be shared when terms allow.
Each project starts with a written request check confirming receiving party (court, agency, USCIS, opposing counsel, regulator), matter type, certification requirement, deadline, file format, and any terminology preferences or prior translations. Files are handled under NDA on request, with named-translator handling for sensitive matters. Certified translations include the signed certification statement required for USCIS filings (8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3)) or for state/agency submissions. Standard turnaround for routine contracts and filings is 3–5 working days; complex evidence sets and discovery batches are quoted with a confirmed delivery date.
For document work, DD checks the receiving office, file condition, certificate wording, handling needs, and file format.

Questions teams ask first
Can legal document translations be certified?
Yes. A signed certification statement (translator name, signature, date, accuracy attestation, statement of competence) is included whenever the receiving forum requires it. For USCIS filings, the certification meets the format described in 8 CFR § 103.2(b)(3). For state-court and agency filings, the certification matches the format the receiving office expects.
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 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 the matter's protective order on request.
How long does a legal document translation take?
Standard turnaround for a routine contract (10–30 pages) or filing is 3–5 working days from receipt of a clean file. Discovery batches and complex evidence sets are quoted with a confirmed delivery date in writing. Court-deadline expedited work is available when scheduled at the time of request.
Can the translator match a glossary or prior translation?
Yes. Share the glossary, prior translated documents, defined-term lists, or attorney style preferences when you send the project details. A file glossary is built for the matter so the same key terms, party names, and defined terms render the same way across every document in the file.
What about depositions and interpreted testimony?
Written translation of deposition transcripts, exhibits, and interpreted testimony is handled here. Live interpreter support for the deposition itself is a separate service on the legal interpreting page, and the two can be planned under one request when needed.
Are corporate filings and regulatory documents in scope?
Yes. SEC filings, FTC submissions, FDA documentation, corporate governance materials, M&A diligence, and international regulatory counterparts (EU, UK, ANVISA, PMDA) are handled with the receiving regulator's format expectations confirmed up front.
