Translation Help

Certified Translation & Interpreting FAQs

Quick answers about certified translations, USCIS requirements, notarization, apostilles, interpreting, pricing, and delivery.

01 What is the difference between translation and interpreting?

Translation converts written content from one language into another. Interpreting involves spoken or signed communication between languages, either in person or remotely.

02 What is the difference between a certified and notarized translation?

A certified translation includes a signed certification confirming the translation is complete and accurate and identifying the translator or translation provider.

Notarization is an additional step in which a notary verifies the identity of the person signing the certification. It does not itself verify the accuracy of the translation.

03 Do I need an ATA-certified translator?

Not necessarily. Requirements depend on the organization receiving your documents. Many agencies accept properly certified translations without requiring an individually ATA-certified translator.

If your attorney, court, school, agency, or other recipient specifically requires an ATA-certified translator, please tell us before the project begins so we can confirm availability, pricing, and turnaround.

04 What does USCIS require for translated documents?

A foreign-language document submitted to USCIS must generally be accompanied by a full English translation. The translator must certify that the translation is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate from the source language into English.

Learn about USCIS translations
05 Do court translation requirements vary?

Yes. Translation and interpreter requirements can vary by court, jurisdiction, filing type, and document. Always check the specific requirements of the court or agency receiving your documents.

06 What is the difference between notarization and an apostille?

Notarization generally verifies the identity and signature of a person signing a document or certification.

An apostille authenticates certain public documents for use in countries participating in the Hague Apostille Convention. Requirements depend on the document and the country where it will be used.

07 Can you notarize a translation certification?

Yes, notarization can be arranged when requested or when required by the receiving institution. Many certified translation projects do not require notarization.

08 What affects translation cost and turnaround?

Pricing and turnaround may depend on document length, language pair, readability, formatting, subject matter, certification requirements, and requested delivery time.

Request a quote
09 What is localization and transcreation?

Localization adapts translated content for a particular audience, region, or market. Transcreation recreates marketing or creative content so the message and tone work naturally in the target language.

10 How do you review translations for accuracy?

Our process includes review of names, dates, numbers, formatting, and source-document details. For applicable projects, clients may also review a draft before final certification.

Learn about our draft review process
11 What is your cancellation policy?

Translation projects are generally non-refundable once work has begun. Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order.

12 What payment methods do you accept?

We accept Zelle, major credit and debit cards, and cash for eligible in-office payments.
