Legal proceeding certified translation services
A court will not weigh a foreign-language document until it arrives as a certified English translation. ABC delivers court-ready translations at $24.10 per page in 48 hours, guaranteed accepted.
Why your court documents need certified translation
A filing deadline does not move because a document is in the wrong language. When foreign-language evidence goes before a court, it has to arrive with a certified translation or it will not be admissible. A contract, a witness statement, a police report, a financial record, a judgment from a foreign court. Without certification, any of these can be challenged or set aside.
That risk is not abstract. A translation that is questioned mid-case can cost a hearing, weaken an argument, or hand the other side an opening. Word-for-word certified renderings carrying a signed certification that confirms accuracy and the translator's competence are required by many international courts, along with U.S. courts at the state and federal level.
This is exactly what legal proceeding certified translation services are for. ABC Translations produces translations built to that standard. Each page includes the signed certification statement courts expect, and the work is done by professional translators experienced with legal language, so the meaning holds up under scrutiny.
Trusted by more than 255,000 customers over 25 years, we deliver certified translations built to the standard courts and agencies set, so foreign-language evidence enters the record without admissibility problems or avoidable delays.

Are your translators qualified for this type of work?
Yes. Our translators are professional linguists fluent in both the source language and English, and they are experienced with legal language, so the meaning holds up under scrutiny.
How do I submit my documents for translation?
Upload clear photos or scans of your documents through our secure online order form. We accept JPG, PNG, and PDF files. Once you submit your order, our translators begin right away and deliver within the stated turnaround time.
