- We review readability, pages, price, and timing
- You approve the confirmed order and submit payment
- The document is translated and quality-checked
- The certified PDF is delivered through your selected contact method
Certification is not the same as notarization
Certification describes the translation and the translator’s attestation. Notarization is a separate process involving a notary. If you believe notarization may be required, mention it when submitting the request so the order can be reviewed correctly.
Check the receiving organization’s requirements
The organization receiving your documents decides what it will accept. Requirements can differ, so customers should confirm any special format, delivery, or notarization instructions before ordering.
