Q&A Questions people ask... Perguntas que as pessoas fazem...
Will you e-mail us the certified translation as an attachment? No I won't. These are paper translations stamped and initialed on the back of each sheet, but you will certainly receive at least two copies.
Do you also translate Spanish to English? Yes I also translate Spanish-language birth certificates into English as certified translations.
Will I get a postal tracking number?
I usually buy a postal receipt showing sender and addressee. It shows the exact date when I sent the translation at the post office, and the destination. But I can do it either way. Express mail costs about ten times as much as first-class mail, and overnight courier service about thirty times as much.
I own an agency and we need a birth certificate translated Sorry, but no. I only do those for the owners of the documents, their relatives or attorneys. How much do you charge for a birth certificate translation? Ask me again when both of us are looking at the same document.
I am instructed to get what they call a "word-for-word" translation Sorry, but I don't have any idea what that expression means. I do thought-for-thought and meaning-for-meaning translations. Computers do word-for-word substitutions and you can see the unwanted results everywhere.
I am an attorney and need my client's personal documents translated Fine. Please fax or provide images of the documents, tell me when you want them delivered and include your contact info. Scanned images may be sent to  which accepts large files. I can also provide you the names of other attorneys familiar with my work, and I do accept credit cards.
I need a sworn translation for the Brazilian government If by that they mean tradução juramentada, only a Brazilian citizen may take the test for the license and title of Tradutor Público e Intérprete Comercial. Ask at the Brazilian Consulate whether that is what you really need. Sometimes they will "legalize" a document for a fee as part of the procedure for producing the official translation. There is a similar procedure for a power-of-attorney binding in Brazil.
