Who we translate for
Common mistakes we help you avoid
- Leaving out stamps or annotations. Every mark on the document is translated.
- Self-translation. Many offices will not accept translations made by the applicant.
- Inconsistent name spellings. Names should match your passport and other documents.
- Translating before the apostille. The apostille usually needs to be translated too.
Official sources
