Certified apostille translation services
An apostille makes your document recognized abroad under the Hague Convention, but foreign authorities still need a certified translation to read it. ABC Translations provides certified apostille translation at $24.10 per page, delivered in 48 hours with unlimited revisions.
An apostille authenticates your document, but only if the receiving country can read it
An apostille is the certificate that tells one country a document from another is genuine. It is what makes a birth certificate, diploma, marriage record, or court order travel across borders under the Hague Convention. But authentication is only half the job. If the apostille and the underlying document are in a language the receiving authority does not read, they still cannot act on it, and they will ask for a certified translation.
This is where submissions fall apart. People send the apostilled document abroad and assume the apostille is enough, then learn that both the apostille and the document underneath it need translating. An incomplete, uncertified, or inaccurate translation gets the whole package rejected, which can mean costly delays or, in legal matters, the loss of a right you were trying to protect.
This is exactly what certified apostille translation services are for. ABC Translations translates the apostille and its underlying document together, word for word, with the formatting preserved and a signed certification statement attached. The work is handled by native-speaking professionals, and every translation carries our 100% acceptance guarantee, honored by USCIS, the State Department, U.S. courts, consulates, universities, and immigration offices worldwide.
Want that notarization recognized abroad as well? Our apostille add-on extends your certified translation so it holds up in other countries. It validates your notarization across Hague Convention countries and opens a quicker, all-digital route to acceptance overseas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear answers to the questions people most often ask about working with us. See how the workflow runs, what it costs, how long it takes, where documents are accepted, which notarization choices exist, and the way finished files reach you.
Do I need to translate the apostille itself, or just the document it is attached to?
It depends on the receiving country. Translating the underlying document, such as a birth certificate or diploma, converts that document's content. Translating the apostille means rendering the separate authentication certificate a government official attached to it. When the apostille is in a foreign language, many authorities want both translated and certified, and we translate them together so nothing is missing.
Some countries accept an apostille in English or French without translation, so confirm with the institution receiving your file before you order.
Can you translate apostilles issued by any U.S. state?
Yes. We translate apostille certificates issued by all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Formatting differs slightly from one state to the next, but the standardized Hague Convention language keeps the translation straightforward, and we have handled state-issued apostilles bound for countries around the world.
Can you translate an apostille issued by a foreign government?
Yes. When you need to use a foreign document in another country, we translate both the document and its foreign-issued apostille. For example, a Spanish birth certificate carrying a Spanish apostille that you need to use in Germany can be translated, certificate and apostille together, into German. We work with apostilles from Hague Convention member countries worldwide.
How do I get an apostille placed on my certified translation?
First have the certified translation notarized, then submit it to your state's apostille-issuing authority, usually the Secretary of State, which verifies the notary's signature and attaches the apostille. If you want this validated for use abroad more quickly, our apostille add-on authenticates the notarization for Hague Convention member countries through a fully digital path.
Will the translated apostille keep its authentication value abroad?
Yes. The authentication comes from the original government-issued apostille, not the translation. Our certified translation accurately conveys what the apostille states so a foreign official can see your document was authenticated by the issuing country. The original apostille and its certified translation together satisfy international authentication requirements.
How fast is apostille translation, and what does it cost?
An apostille certificate is usually a single page and costs $24.10 to translate, with most delivered within 48 hours. If you also need the underlying document translated, that is priced separately at the same $24.10 per page. A rush same-day option is available for urgent submissions, and unlimited revisions are included on every order.
