From your scan to a signed translation
Everything by email, no paper: the official procedure has been fully digital since December 2022.
Send a scan
A complete, clearly legible scan of the document. Every stamp, seal and handwritten note must be visible: I translate everything that appears on it.
Quote and deadline
You get a quote straight away, usually per source word, and an estimate of the delivery time. Complex layouts are priced on the time they take.
Translation
As a rough guide, around 2,500 words per working day. Complex legal documents take longer, because accuracy comes first.
Signed and delivered
Since 1 December 2022 the procedure is fully digital: you receive the sworn translation by email with my electronic signature. An Apostille can be added if the destination requires it.
