Corpus does not provide notarization. A certified translation confirms that the translation is complete and accurate; notarization only confirms the identity of the signer, and it is a separate step you complete with a notary public yourself. Corpus certified document translation starts at $19.99/page for eligible standard documents in 65+ languages. Standard documents are delivered within 24 hours of order confirmation on business days, or that document is free.

Corpus does not provide notarization. Upload a clear scan or photo of each document page, plus any agency instruction that mentions notarization, apostille, sealed copies, direct submission, or special wording. Simple civil documents can usually go straight to checkout. Multi-document sets, unclear scans, handwritten records, or strict agency instructions should go through the quote path first.
If the receiving office requires an apostille or certification page, confirm whether that page should be translated too. The safer sequence is usually to assemble the final document set first, then translate the pages the recipient wants represented, so stamps, seals, certificates, and apostille text are not left out. Corpus provides certified translation only; it does not obtain apostilles or provide legal advice.
