Sworn translation of less common languages

Finding a sworn translator for English or French is easy. But if your document is in Arabic, Russian, Croatian, Chinese or Persian, many agencies do not reply or take weeks. With an international network of sworn translators, these languages can be covered too.

Why it is harder

In many countries there are few sworn translators for certain language pairs, and sometimes none at all. That is why we work with sworn translators in different countries and assign each document to the professional authorised for that language pair and for the country where it will be submitted.

Names and alphabets: the key detail

When a document uses another alphabet (Arabic, Cyrillic, Chinese, Persian…), names are transliterated into the Latin alphabet. If the transliteration does not match your passport, the authority may reject the document. Always tell us how your name appears in your passport and we will follow it in the translation.

Documents we often translate in these languages

• Birth and marriage certificates
• Criminal record certificates
• Degrees and academic transcripts
• Driving licences
• Court judgments and powers of attorney

How to request a quote

1. Send us a complete, legible copy of the document, with stamps and the apostille if it has one.
2. Tell us the target language, the country and the authority where you will submit it.
3. Tell us how your name appears in your passport.
4. Receive a quote and turnaround with no obligation.

The turnaround and the price depend on the language pair and the length of the document. We confirm both before we start.
