Certified translation of property deeds, title documents, mortgage papers, and real estate certificates for closings, immigration filings, and international transactions. 65+ languages. 24-hour delivery.
Real estate certificate translation is the certified conversion of property documents from one language to English (or another target language) with a signed certificate of accuracy. Title companies, lenders, courts, and USCIS may ask for certified translations of foreign-language property documents before they review them as part of a real estate transaction or immigration filing.
Corpus Localization provides certified translation of property deeds, title certificates, mortgage documents, escrituras, and every other type of real estate paperwork at 8¢ per word or $19.99 per page — whichever is lower with 24-hour standard delivery. We translate from 65+ languages. Every translation includes a signed certificate of accuracy stating the translation is complete and accurate, prepared by a qualified translator.
Any foreign-language document involved in a property transaction, immigration application, or legal proceeding needs certified translation. Here are the most common real estate documents we translate:
Foreign buyers purchasing residential or commercial property in the United States need translated identity documents, financial records, and proof of funds for title companies and lenders. The closing attorney or title company will not proceed without certified English translations of any foreign-language documents in the transaction file.
Americans who own property abroad and need those documents for U.S. legal proceedings, tax filings, or refinancing must provide certified English translations. Estate and probate cases involving foreign real property are a common example — courts require translated deeds, tax records, and ownership certificates.
USCIS applicants filing I-864 Affidavit of Support or demonstrating financial resources often submit property deeds, tax assessments, and valuation reports as evidence of assets. Every foreign-language document submitted to USCIS requires certified translation with a signed certificate of accuracy.
Cross-border deals generate documents in multiple languages. A Mexican national selling property to a Canadian buyer closing through a U.S. escrow company, or a Chinese investor purchasing a Miami condo — each party and each institution in the chain may require translations into their operating language.
Foreign investors purchasing U.S. commercial or residential property need translated corporate documents, financial statements, and identity documents for FIRPTA (Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act) compliance and closing.
Real estate systems differ by country. The document names, legal frameworks, and notarial requirements are not interchangeable.
Mexican property transactions are conducted before a notario público — a government-appointed legal officer with broader authority than a U.S. notary. Key documents: escritura pública (notarial deed), predial (property tax receipt), constancia de no adeudo (no-debt certificate), and registro público de la propiedad (public property registry). Mexican escrituras often run 15–30 pages and contain detailed legal descriptions, tax IDs, and notarial certifications.
Brazilian property ownership centers on the escritura pública de compra e venda (public deed of purchase and sale) registered at the cartório de registro de imóveis (real estate registry office). The matrícula (property registration number) is the definitive proof of ownership. Property tax is the IPTU (Imposto Predial e Territorial Urbano).
Chinese property law distinguishes between land use rights (土地使用权证) and building ownership certificates (房产证/不动产权证书). Since 2015, China has been consolidating these into a unified real estate certificate (不动产权证书). Documents are issued by local housing authorities.
Property title deeds vary by country: tapu in Turkey, سند ملکیت (sanad-e malekiyyat) in Iran, and سند (sanad) in Arabic-speaking countries. Many Gulf states issue title deeds in Arabic only. Dubai Land Department documents require certified translation for use outside the UAE.
All land in Vietnam is state-owned, but individuals hold land use rights. The sổ đỏ (red book, rural) and sổ hồng (pink book, urban) are the primary ownership documents. These certificates cover land use rights, house ownership, and other assets attached to land.
Civil law countries (France, Germany, Spain, Italy) use notarial deeds and land registry systems. German Grundbuchauszug (land registry extract), French acte de vente (deed of sale), and Spanish escritura de compraventa each follow different formats and legal conventions.
Title companies and closing attorneys have a specific requirement: every foreign-language document in the transaction file must have a certified English translation before closing can proceed.
Standard turnaround is 24 hours for documents under 10 pages. Larger document sets (full closing packages, multi-property portfolios) may take 2–3 business days.
