Digital and printed translation delivery for Half Moon Bay clients

For a Half Moon Bay request involving remote document review before shipping, start by sending the recipient’s written instructions. Ask whether a certified PDF is sufficient or whether the recipient requires a printed, signed, or shipped version. Include the final delivery destination and submission deadline so the quote accounts for any shipping.

Pricing and Turnaround

Translation pricing depends on the language pair, word count, document complexity, and required certification. A standard document page contains up to 225 words.

​

Standard turnaround is 1–3 business days, depending on the order. Expedited service may be available.Your quote confirms the price and estimated completion time before work begins.

​

Notarization, apostille processing, printed copies, and shipping are quoted separately when requested.

What to Send for a Quote

For your Half Moon Bay translation quote, include:
• Clear images of every page, including relevant reverse sides
• Source and target languages
• Receiving organization and destination country
• Preferred name spellings and supporting references
• Your deadline and PDF or printed-copy requirements

Clear scans or photographs are sufficient for most translation orders. Include the entire document without cropped edges, glare, or missing text.

Service and Delivery

Translation orders from Half Moon Bay can be handled remotely; there is no need to book a mobile appointment just to send scans. My business is based in Burlingame. If a separate mobile notary service is needed, ask about appointment availability and travel charges before booking.

Your completed certified translation is delivered as a PDF by email. If your receiving organization requires a printed copy, request that option before ordering.

Notarization, Apostilles, and Sworn Translations

Some receiving organizations require a notarized translator’s certification, an apostille, or a sworn translation completed by a translator authorized in the destination country.

Send the receiving organization’s instructions before ordering so I can confirm the available service and certification format. Notarization applies to the translator’s signature; it does not verify translation accuracy.
