Deposition Translation services
Admissible in court

Sworn testimony in another language is only useful if it is admissible

A deposition is evidence. When a witness testifies in a language other than English, opposing counsel and the court will scrutinize how that testimony made it onto the record. If the translation is loose, paraphrased, or uncertified, it can be challenged, and a key piece of your case can be thrown into doubt at the worst possible moment.

The risk is rarely the words a witness said. It is whether the translation accurately represents them and carries the certification a court expects. A missing statement of translator competence or a deviation from the source is enough to invite an objection.

You should not have to gamble admissible testimony on a translator who cannot stand behind their work.

I purchased a translation on Friday and expected a 24-hour turnaround but also ordered a notary not knowing it wasn't part of the estimated time. Unsurprisingly I needed it immediately. I emailed support and within a few hours, it was completely signed and notarized! Hats off to y'all!

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.

Will a court admit my translated deposition as evidence?

Yes. Each deposition we translate is rendered word for word and arrives with a signed certification confirming the work is accurate and the translator is qualified, the very proof that judges and opposing counsel demand before they will admit testimony given in another language.

We have translated depositions for federal and state courts nationwide, backed by our 100% acceptance guarantee, so the testimony holds up rather than getting challenged on the translation.

Can I have a bilingual staff member translate our deposition instead?

No. Courts require a translation from an independent third party who can certify accuracy. Even a fluent staff member cannot provide the neutral certification courts demand, because they are tied to your case.

A professional legal translator gives you the unbiased attestation that keeps the deposition admissible.

Do you offer a notarized certified translation of a deposition for courts that require it?

Yes. A notarized version adds a notary public's seal and signature confirming the translator signed the certification statement. Some courts require this extra layer, and we provide it when your jurisdiction calls for it.

Notarization is available on request for an additional fee, so you can match exactly what your court demands.

Do you keep the exact question-and-answer format of the deposition transcript?

Yes. Depositions have to keep their original structure for evidentiary purposes, so we translate each question and answer precisely and preserve line numbers, timestamps, and formatting.

That lets your attorneys cite specific testimony during a hearing, a motion, or trial without losing the reference.

Can your translators handle specialized legal terminology in the deposition?

Yes. Our legal translators work across practice areas, from corporate law and intellectual property to personal injury and criminal defense. We research jurisdiction-specific terminology so the translation reads correctly to judges and attorneys.

Getting the legal language right is what keeps the meaning of the testimony intact.

How fast can you turn around a deposition transcript, and what does it cost?

Deposition translation is $24.10 per page, with the total based on your transcript length and no setup fees or hidden charges. Notarization, if you need it, is available for an additional fee.

Standard delivery is within 48 hours, and expedited service is available for tight court deadlines. Upload your transcript for an exact quote based on the page count.
