Certified Document Translations

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.

• Passports and identity documents

• Business records and contracts
• Police background checks

Translation for use abroad for Rancho Santa Fe clients

For a Rancho Santa Fe request involving documents with sworn-translation instructions, start by sending the recipient’s written instructions. Obtain the recipient’s instructions on translator qualifications, certification format, and hard-copy delivery. A U.S. certified translation is not automatically interchangeable with a sworn translation required in another country.

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 Rancho Santa Fe 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

I serve Rancho Santa Fe remotely from my Burlingame business. There is no local Rancho Santa Fe office or walk-in translation counter. Send clear scans for review; PDF delivery and optional printed-copy shipping are quoted before you order.

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.

Rancho Santa Fe translation orders: is a certified translation the same as a sworn translation?

For Rancho Santa Fe clients working on documents with sworn-translation instructions: Not always. Some countries require a translator authorized under their own system. Send the destination country and recipient instructions so availability of the required format can be checked.
