Legal
Admissible from the start

An uncertified translation can lose the case before it starts

Courts, regulators, and immigration authorities do not weigh a translation on how good it sounds. They accept it only when it carries a signed certificate of accuracy. Without that, a filing gets rejected, an agreement turns unenforceable, and a piece of evidence never makes it in front of the judge.

Legal work runs on precision. One mistranslated clause in a contract, one ambiguous line in a sworn statement, and you are no longer arguing the merits. You are arguing about the document.

The answer is a translation built to the standard the receiving authority actually demands: certified, signed, stamped, and accurate down to the term.

Admissible the first time

Standard per-word work is delivered on a timeline set by the size of the project, and unlimited revisions ensure every detail is correct before you file. Ensure compliance and admissibility, support bilingual teams and filings, and guarantee certified accuracy on the documents that matter most.

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 the court accept your certified translation of our filing or evidence?

Yes. Yes. Each certified legal rendering carries the signed, stamped accuracy certificate that immigration authorities, regulators, and courts require, so your evidence, filings, and contracts are admissible the first time.

Acceptance is guaranteed, and if a court or agency raises an issue we revise the document at no extra cost until it is accepted.

Will a mistranslated clause in our contract or sworn statement become the issue in dispute?

That is the risk we are built to remove. Native-speaking legal translators who know the exact language courts and agencies expect handle every clause, so a contract or sworn statement says the same thing in both languages.

Unlimited revisions are included, so you can confirm every term is correct before you file and never end up arguing about the document instead of the merits.

Can you translate bilingual contracts and compliance manuals for our legal team, not just court filings?

Yes. Bilingual contracts, manuals, and internal messages are standard at $0.09 per word; court evidence and filings are certified at $24.10 per page.

One provider can keep terminology consistent across both your filed documents and your internal legal materials.

How fast can you turn around an urgent filing before a court deadline?

Standard per-word turnaround for bilingual contracts and internal documents depends on the size of the project, so we confirm your delivery date when you send the files. Certified per-page work for court filings and evidence is delivered in 48 hours, with an expedited option when a court deadline will not move, and unlimited revisions are included so a fast timeline never means a compromise on accuracy.

Tell us the filing date when you send the document and we work to it.

Which languages can you cover for contracts, filings, and evidence in our matters?

We translate across 120+ languages with native-speaking professional translators, covering contracts, court filings, evidence, and bilingual team documents in the languages your matters require.

Tell us the languages involved in the matter and we assign translators experienced with legal terminology for each.
