Government filing certified translation services
Hand a government agency a foreign-language document without certification and it comes straight back. ABC clears government-file translations in 48 hours for $24.10 per page; the order includes revisions plus our 100% acceptance guarantee.
An agency can reject your filing over one untranslated document
When you submit a foreign-language document to a local, state, or federal agency, the agency often will not process it until a certified translation is attached. This rule commonly applies to permits, licenses, tax filings, immigration petitions, and regulatory compliance submissions. A single document in the wrong form can send your whole application back.
Agencies need complete, accurate translations they can rely on, which is why they ask for certification. Certification gives the reviewer a signed accuracy-and-competence statement, so the document can be used instead of sent back.
ABC prepares word-for-word certified translations for agency review in 120+ languages, with the signed statement attached. The goal is simple: keep your filing moving instead of stuck in a rejection loop.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear answers to the questions people ask most when translating and certifying government filings: why certification is required, what needs translating, who may do the work, expected timing, how revisions work, and our promise that the translation is accepted.
Will a local, state, or federal agency reject my filing if a supporting document is not certified?
Often, yes. An agency will frequently refuse to process a foreign-language document until a certified translation is attached, and a single page in the wrong form can send the whole application back. The signed certification affirms the translation is accurate and the translator competent, which is what lets the reviewer act on the document instead of returning it.
Which documents in a government filing need to be translated and certified?
Translate any supporting document that is not in the agency's required language. Government filing work often includes licenses, permits, tax records, immigration petitions, and regulatory submissions.
Each is delivered as a word-for-word certified translation at $24.10 per page with a signed certification statement built to meet the agency's requirements.
My agency deadline is close. How fast can I get a certified filing translation?
Standard turnaround is 48 hours. When a filing window is tight, the expedited add-on reduces turnaround by 50 percent, delivering your certified translation in 12 hours or less, ready to submit to the agency.
Will the same certified translation work whether I file with a local, state, or federal agency?
Local, state, and federal agencies receive certified translations built to their requirements, with the translator's signed accuracy statement included. That is the form government reviewers look for, whether the document goes to a county office, a state board, or a federal agency.
What happens if the agency rejects my government filing translation?
Every government agency submission is backed by a 100 percent acceptance guarantee, and every order includes unlimited revisions. If an agency rejects the translation, fixing it is our problem, not yours, and we keep working until your filing is accepted.
