Certified translation of official documents
A certified translation is an official translation, signed and stamped by a qualified translator who attests that it is faithful to the original. It is the translation that embassies, universities, courts and foreign authorities require.
We translate your documents from and into French, English, Arabic, Bambara and fourteen other languages. Before we start, we check what the receiving authority expects: a sworn translator in a given country, legalization of the translator’s signature, binding with the original or a certified copy.
The layout follows the source document (stamps, signatures, margin notes), so the officer reviewing your file can easily compare both versions.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a certified and a standard translation?
A certified translation carries the signature and stamp of a qualified translator who takes responsibility for its accuracy. It has official value; a standard translation does not.
Will the embassy accept my translation?
Each embassy sets its own rules. We check them before translating and adapt the certification (sworn translator, signature legalization) accordingly.
How much does a certified translation cost?
The price depends on the language pair, the number of pages and the deadline. Send a photo of the document for a free quote.
