Choose the right translation format for your document
Not every document needs the same translation format. Some files are translated for information or business use, while others may need certification, a sworn translator, a qualified electronic signature or a paper version with formal authentication.
Requirements vary by country and receiving institution. If you have written instructions, send them with the document so we can review the requested format before you order.
Standard document translation
Suitable when the receiving party does not require formal certification, for example for internal, informational or business use.
Certified translation
Certification requirements differ between countries and institutions. We can review the receiving party’s instructions and confirm the available format.
Sworn translation
In jurisdictions such as Poland, certain official procedures may require a translation completed by an authorized sworn translator.
How document translation works online
You can request a quote without visiting an office. The process starts with a digital copy of the document and the information needed to determine the correct translation workflow.
Upload the document
Send a scan, photo, PDF, Word file or other readable digital version of the document.
We review the requirements
We check the language pair, document type, intended use, required format and deadline.
Confirm the quote
You receive the price, expected turnaround and delivery format before the translation starts.
Receive the translation
The translation is delivered digitally or on paper, depending on the confirmed service and receiving requirements.
Translate PDF, Word, scan or photo documents online
Many document translation projects can begin from a clear digital copy. We can review PDFs, Word files, scans, photos and multi-page document packages.
If the file is incomplete, difficult to read or contains complex formatting, we will identify this during review before confirming the project.
Translation of documents with an apostille or additional verification
Some documents include an apostille, legalization stamp, notarial certification or another form of authentication that also needs to be translated.
Whether an apostille or legalization is required in the first place depends on the countries and procedure involved. The receiving institution is the best source for confirming its formal requirements.
Tell us where and how the document will be used
The issuing country, destination country and receiving institution can affect the appropriate translation format.
- Document type
- Source and target language
- Issuing country

Document Translation — Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about document types, file formats, certification, turnaround and delivery.
What is document translation?
Document translation is the translation of written records such as certificates, academic documents, legal files, business records, financial documents and other personal or professional materials from one language into another.
What types of documents can you translate?
We can review personal, civil-status, academic, legal, business, financial, medical, technical and official documents, depending on the language pair and project requirements.
Can I send a scan or photo of my document?
Yes. A clear scan, PDF or photo is usually enough to prepare a quote. If the final procedure requires an original or a specific formal format, this should be confirmed with the receiving institution.
What is the difference between standard and certified document translation?
Standard translation is suitable when no formal certification is required. Certified translation requirements vary by country and institution, so the receiving party’s instructions should be checked before ordering.

Turnaround depends on the language pair, document length, file quality, translation format and translator availability. The expected deadline is confirmed with the quote.
