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.

We explain the reason certification matters, the documents that must be translated, who is qualified to do it, expected delivery times, how revisions work, and the acceptance guarantee we offer.
What is a certified translation?
A certified translation is a translated document that comes with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. The certificate includes the translator's statement that the translation is complete and accurate, along with their credentials and contact information.
Federal, state, and many international courts require certified translations for foreign-language documents submitted as evidence.
What does a certified translation include?
Your certified translation package includes the complete English translation, a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy with the translator's credentials, and digital delivery in PDF format within 48 hours.
Hard copies with original signatures are available on request for an additional fee. The translation is formatted to meet court requirements.
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.
Why do courts require certified translations of evidence?
Foreign-language documents must come with a certified translation to be admissible as evidence. The signed certification statement affirms the translation is accurate and that the translator is competent, which is what lets a court rely on it.
How fast can you translate an urgent filing?
Standard turnaround is 48 hours. For time-critical filings, the expedited add-on cuts delivery in half, returning work in 12 hours or less. Unlimited revisions are included with every order.
What documents do you handle for legal proceedings?
We render and certify depositions, foreign court judgments, financial records, police reports, witness statements, contracts, and other evidence put before federal, state, and international courts.
What if the court does not accept the translation?
Our 100% acceptance guarantee on tribunal and court submissions has it covered. If a recipient rejects your translation, we correct the original and resubmit first. Only if it keeps getting rejected after those corrections do we refund your money.
Can you translate documents with official stamps and seals?
Yes. We translate evidence that carries official stamps, seals, signatures, and handwritten entries, such as judgments and police reports. Our translators read various document formats and translate all visible text accurately, so the translation is complete and admissible.
What if my documents have handwritten text?
We regularly translate documents with handwritten entries, which is common with witness statements and police reports. Our translators read various handwriting styles and accurately interpret and translate handwritten text, official stamps, and marginal notes, so the translation is complete.
