Certified text message translation services
When a text thread becomes evidence, tone and timing matter as much as the words. We translate and certify your messages at $24.10 per page, ready within 48 hours and accepted in court and immigration proceedings.
When a text becomes evidence, every word and timestamp has to hold up.
More and more, text messages show up as backing proof when a case lands before immigration officials or a court. But when the conversation is in another language, a court, USCIS, or another authority cannot rely on it until it is translated and certified, with the meaning, the order, and the details intact.
This is where a casual translation falls apart. Miss a timestamp, blur who sent what, or soften a phrase, and the evidence loses its weight, or worse, gets challenged or thrown out. In a case where the messages matter, the translation either strengthens your position or quietly undermines it.
Certified translations that keep text message evidence admissible
This is exactly what certified text message translation services are for. With certified text message translation from ABC Translations, the small things that give a thread weight stay put: when each message was sent, who wrote it, who received it, and the precise sequence they followed. We render the text word-for-word, lay it out to mirror the source, and attach a signed accuracy certificate to it.
That faithful reconstruction is the mechanism. Hold the metadata and the running order in place, certify that it is faithful, and the result clears what courts, USCIS, and other agencies require, so it gets admitted and believed instead of challenged.
You pay $24.10 per page for certified work, it lands within 48 hours, revisions stay open-ended, and a 100% acceptance promise sits behind each one. For 25 years, attorneys and individuals have brought their most sensitive evidence to ABC Translations, and more than 255,000 of them have trusted us to keep every timestamp, sender, and sequence exactly as it appeared in the original thread.

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!
Amazing service! My translation was done in 2 hours. All done on time, the right way, and the price was very good! Highly recommend.
I reached out to them last Friday for an emergency translation. They got back within the hour. ETA was 24 hours. Since it was a Friday, I expected Monday, but it was completed on Saturday. Accurate and on time, great job!

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 or asylum office accept my translated text messages as evidence?
Yes. Our certified text message translations meet court requirements for documentary evidence and are used in everything from family court to asylum applications.
Each translation is word-for-word with a signed certificate of accuracy and is backed by a 100% acceptance guarantee, which is the format courts and legal authorities look for in evidentiary documents.
Do you keep the timestamps and sender names on my text messages?
Yes. We preserve timestamps, sender and recipient identification, and the original chronological order, then format the translation to mirror the source.
Those details are what tell a reviewer who said what and when, so keeping them intact is exactly what makes the evidence credible.
How do you translate emojis and slang in my text conversation?
For emojis we describe what the emoji represents, such as a laughing face or a heart, so meaning is not lost. For abbreviations and slang we translate the intended meaning rather than the literal characters.
Where a phrase is genuinely ambiguous, we note it in the translation instead of guessing, so the court sees an honest record.
Can you translate a long, months-long text conversation?
Yes. We translate conversations of any length, from a handful of messages to multi-month exchanges, in chronological order with each sender identified.
The flow of the conversation stays clear, which matters when the sequence of messages is part of your argument.
How should I submit my text message screenshots for translation?
Send screenshots or exported message files in any common format such as JPG, PNG, or PDF. Make sure the timestamps and sender names are readable where they appear.
For a long thread, you can upload multiple screenshots or one PDF compilation, and we will keep them in order.
How is text message translation priced, and how fast can I get it?
Certified text message translation is $24.10 per page, formatted to standard document pages, so the count depends on how many messages you submit. You see the exact quote before you order.
Most orders are delivered within 48 hours, and rush service is available if you are facing a court filing deadline.
