Certified Translations

Certified translations start at $23.75 per page, with each page covering up to 500 words. The exact rate depends on your language pair, and volume discounts apply automatically on larger orders. You can see the rate for your specific language on our pricing page. If a page exceeds 500 words or your order needs any adjustment, we'll let you know before we start.

For USCIS immigration filings, a certified translation is sufficient. No notarization needed. Notarized translations are typically required for state and federal courts, U.S. passport applications, banks, academic credential evaluations (WES, ECE, etc.), child support proceedings, DMV submissions, and documents being apostilled for international use. If you are not sure which level of certification you need, see our certification guide.

An apostille is a government certification issued by the Florida Department of State (or equivalent authority in other states) that authenticates a document so it will be accepted in another country. It's recognized in all 124 countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention. The most common reasons people need one: getting married abroad, applying for dual citizenship, registering a business in another country, buying property overseas, or enrolling at a foreign university. If you're pursuing Italian dual citizenship, see our Italian citizenship translation and apostille guide.

Yes. A properly completed Florida RON carries the same legal weight as an in-person notarization. RON also includes additional verification layers: biometric or knowledge-based identity authentication, a recorded video session, and tamper-evident document technology. The notarized document is recognized in all 50 U.S. states and can be apostilled for international use. For a complete walkthrough of the RON process, see our detailed RON guide.

Our team reviews all orders before starting. In the vast majority of cases, no adjustment is needed since most standard documents fall within our 500-word-per-page limit and qualify for the standard rate. If we do identify anything that may require an adjustment (for example, more than 500 words, complex handwriting, or unusual formatting), we'll contact you with a revised quote before any work begins. You can then choose to move forward or cancel the order for a full refund.
