A consulate or embassy has asked you to submit a translated document. We translate the whole document, in 65+ languages, with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. Each consulate and embassy sets its own requirements, so read your consulate's current instructions before you order. We do not provide notarization or an apostille.
A complete translation of your document, covering every word, stamp, seal and annotation, with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy stating that the translation is true, accurate and complete. If an apostille is already attached to your document, we translate that page too. You receive it as a print-ready PDF.
Translations can go into English, or from English into another language, for example Spanish or Italian. Tell us which direction your consulate asks for when you order. Language pairs we do not routinely list go to quote review for availability and price.
$19.99/page for eligible standard documents, or 8 cents per word on multi-page files when that is lower. Standard documents are birth, marriage, divorce, academic and police records, up to 4 pages each, so a birth certificate or a criminal background check of 4 pages or less is a standard document. Unclear or nonstandard files go to quote review, and you see the price before you pay.
See pricing.
Eligible standard documents are delivered within 24 hours of order confirmation on business days, or that document is free. Anything else is delivered within one business day of order confirmation. If a set is large enough to need a staged schedule, your quote names the dates before you pay.
If you have a consulate appointment, leave yourself time to compare the translation with the consulate's instructions before you go.
That is the consulate's decision, not ours. Every consulate and embassy sets its own requirements for translated documents and updates them, so check your consulate's current instructions before you order: on its website, or in the checklist or letter it gave you. What we deliver is a complete, accurate translation with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. Only the consulate can tell you whether that meets its requirements.
If the instructions ask for something specific, such as a set format, send them with your quote request before you pay. Requests that carry consulate instructions get a custom scope confirmed before work begins.
We do not provide notarization or an apostille, so check whether your consulate asks for either before you order. If it does, you will need to arrange that separately. We also do not provide interpreting, mailed or paper copies, or legal advice.
We also do not tell you which documents your consulate needs, and we do not submit anything to the consulate for you. You submit your own documents.
Customers have ordered translations of birth certificates and criminal background checks for consulate applications, including a dual citizenship application, some with an apostille attached. Your consulate's checklist decides which documents you need. We translate the documents you send us.
Corpus Localization is an ATA corporate member #M-189351: the company is a member of the American Translators Association. That is a company membership, not a credential held by a translator. If your consulate's instructions say the translator must personally hold a credential, or be sworn or registered in the consulate's country, we do not provide that, so check this before you order.
If we made an error in the translation or certification, we correct it free for the life of the document. If a translation is rejected solely because of an error on our part, we revise it free or refund the translation fee. That remedy covers errors on our part. It does not cover a rejection because the consulate wanted something we do not provide, such as notarization or an apostille.
If your document is an eligible standard document of 4 pages or less, start your order and upload it. For anything else, such as a longer file, an unclear scan, or a consulate that has given you specific instructions, request a free quote and attach the instructions. You see the price and delivery time before you pay.
