Built to the standard

An embassy will not bend the rules for your paperwork

Documents that cross diplomatic and consular channels move between legal systems that do not share a language or a standard. U.S. Department of State offices, consulates, and embassies need certified English translations for foreign-language records used in visas, notarials, official recognition, and similar services. Submit something that does not meet the standard and it is returned, often with no quick path to fix it.

And certification is sometimes only half of what is needed. International validity often hinges on a further step, since plenty of documents need an apostille or consular legalization too, and which one applies turns on the countries in play. Miss that step and a perfectly accurate translation still will not be accepted abroad.

This is exactly what diplomatic and consular communication certified translation services are for. ABC Translations handles both. At $24.10 per page, you get certified translations that satisfy diplomatic and consular rules, with notarization and apostille options available to smooth the path through international authentication. We match each document to what its receiving authority actually requires.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are responses to the questions people ask most often about getting diplomatic and consular communications translated and certified.

Speak to a Human Now!

Does the embassy or consulate require a certified translation of my document?

Foreign-language documents must reach consulates, embassies, and the State Department of the United States with certified English translations attached. That covers academic credentials, vital records, legal contracts, and anything submitted for a visa, notarial service, or official recognition.

We build each certified translation to meet those diplomatic and consular requirements at $24.10 per page.

Do I need an apostille or consular legalization on top of the certified translation?

It depends on the countries involved. Apostille or consular legalization depends on the countries involved: Hague Apostille Convention members use apostilles, while other countries usually require consulate legalization.

We offer notarization and an apostille add-on to streamline that authentication for the destination, so an accurate translation is not stopped at the border by a missing step.

Can you handle a visa, notarial, or official-recognition packet that mixes several document types?

Yes. Diplomatic and consular packets often mix vital records, legal contracts, and academic credentials in one submission. We certify each one to the receiving authority's standard and match the right authentication to each, so the packet holds together.

How fast can you deliver, and can you expedite an urgent international case?

Certified translations are delivered in 48 hours. For urgent matters there is an expedited add-on, and for documents that must travel internationally there is an apostille add-on for faster authentication.

What if the embassy or the Department of State does not accept it?

Every certified translation is backed by a 100% acceptance guarantee. We build each document to meet diplomatic and consular requirements and stand behind it, across 120+ languages at $24.10 per page.
