How Long Does a Certified Translation Take?

There's no single answer to how long a certified translation takes — it depends on the document's length, the language pair, and the classification you need.

A short, standard document — a birth certificate or national ID — with a common language pair is often turned around within one to two business days once our team confirms scope.

Longer documents, like contracts or multi-page academic transcripts, take longer, since every page goes through translation and then an independent review before delivery.

Notarized or sworn translations can add time, since they depend on a notary's or authorized translator's availability in addition to the translation itself.

The most useful thing you can do is message us with your document's page count and your deadline upfront. Our team will give you a realistic timeline on WhatsApp — before any work begins, and before you're committed to anything.

There's no online quote form for a reason: a person on our team actually looks at your document before quoting a timeline, rather than guessing from a form field.
