Certified translations are available in more than 130 languages for immigration, academic, business, court, and personal documents.

I coordinate translations completed by professional human translators. Each certified translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy confirming that the translation is complete and accurate.

Academic document translation for Palo Alto clients
For a Palo Alto request involving education credentials and evaluation requirements, start by sending the recipient’s written instructions. Supply the diploma and every transcript page requested by the institution. Include grading legends and reverse-side text. Translation and credential evaluation are separate services, so check whether the recipient requires both.
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 Palo Alto 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 Palo Alto 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.

Palo Alto translation orders: is a translated transcript a credential evaluation?
For Palo Alto clients working on education credentials and evaluation requirements: No. Translation renders the source text in another language. A credential evaluation assesses educational equivalency and must be arranged separately if the institution requires it.
