Document translation

We adapt the translation to the specific submission requirement

When translating documents, it is important to preserve the legal meaning, names, dates, issuing authority and order of attachments. If the recipient requires an electronic or certified paper copy, tell us before work begins.

Document content

We look at names, personal data, the issuing authority, attachments and stamps.

Type of translation

We agree on whether a plain, agency-certified or notarised translation is needed.

Submission

We check whether the translation must be submitted together with the original, a copy or an apostille.

Document translation

Before translating, we clarify not only the text but also the required type of certification

Problems with document submission can arise even when the translation is correct if its type of certification does not meet the receiving authority’s requirements. Before starting, it is important to clarify the purpose of submission and where the document will be submitted.

Where you'll submit it

2

What kind of document

Civil status, education, legal and medical documents are assessed differently.

3

What deadline

The deadline depends on volume, language, certification and document availability.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is a photo of the document enough?

A photo or PDF is usually enough for an initial price and deadline estimate.

Can the translation be certified?

Yes, if the institution requires a certified or notarised translation.

When is a notarised translation needed?

A notarised translation is needed when the institution requires an officially certified translation rather than a simple text translation. We check the required certification before processing the order.

Which languages do you translate?

We translate to and from Latvian, English and Russian, and can also arrange many other language combinations through our network of verified translators. Let us know the language pair you need and we'll confirm whether we can help.

Can I receive the translation electronically?

Yes, the finished translation can usually be sent electronically as a PDF. If you need the original with a stamp and signature, you can also collect it at our office or have it delivered by courier.
