Most translation companies charge by the word and by the chosen language pair.  However, 90% of our translations are priced by the number of pages. Highly customized documents require an individual quote.

Cost varies based on these factors:

• Document length (Page count vs Word Count)
• Language pairing (European vs Other)
• Type of Translation required (certified/sworn)

A document is translated by our native language speaking translator.   Once it is translated, a Statement of Accuracy from the translator or translation company confirms that the translation is a "true and accurate representation of the original document."

The Statement of Accuracy is then notarized which provides the verification of the identity of the person signing the statement.  An oath is issued that affirms the contents of the translation are true and correct.
