Certified Chinese to English translation for Simplified Chinese (Mainland China) and Traditional Chinese (Taiwan, Hong Kong) documents. Immigration, academic, legal, and business documents. 24-hour delivery.
Chinese document translation requires more than language proficiency. Chinese documents — whether from Mainland China, Taiwan, or Hong Kong — use different writing systems, follow different formatting conventions, and are issued by different governmental structures.
Simplified Chinese (简体中文) is used in Mainland China, Singapore, and Malaysia. If your document was issued by the People’s Republic of China, it uses Simplified Chinese.
Traditional Chinese (繁體中文) is used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. Documents from the Republic of China (Taiwan) and Hong Kong Special Administrative Region use Traditional Chinese.
Corpus Localization translates both systems accurately. Our Chinese translators understand the differences in official document formats between Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong — from the red-stamped “公证书” (notarized certificate) to the Taiwanese household registration “户籍謄本” to the Hong Kong birth certificate issued by the Immigration Department.

Most official Chinese documents submitted for international use go through China’s notarization system. A Chinese notarized certificate (公证书) has a specific format: the original document is attached, and the notary public office issues a cover certificate. We translate the entire package — notarial certificate, original document, and all stamps and seals.
Chinese documents are authenticated with red ink seals (印章) rather than signatures. These chops carry legal weight and must be accurately described in translation. We identify and describe every seal on your document.
Chinese names can appear in Pinyin, characters, or both — and the romanization doesn’t always match what appears on a passport. We translate names as they appear on the document and note any discrepancies that might be relevant for immigration purposes.
Some documents — particularly from Hong Kong — may be bilingual (Chinese and English). We translate the Chinese portions and note which sections were already in English, providing a complete certified translation of the full document.
Mainland China (PRC)nWe translate documents from all provinces and municipalities, including notarized certificates from any notary office, hukou (household registration) books, and documents from CHSI academic verification.
