Questions

Asked before starting.

Are your translations certified?

Where a receiving authority requires an official translation, we arrange it through an accredited office and pass on the cost.

How long does legalisation take?

It depends on the document and destination. We check the route before giving any timescale.

Do you offer interpreting?

No. We provide written translation and lawyer-led document work.
