What is Forensic Transcription and Translation or FTT?

Legal transcription, known in professional literature as Forensic Transcription and Translation (FTT), is the two-step process of writing down what was said in its original language, then translating it line-by-line into English, with both versions delivered side-by-side so a court, jury, or investigator can verify every word. It’s the term the ATA and NAJIT use for transcripts prepared as evidence.

Certified Translation

What is a certified translation?2026-05-15T12:25:41-04:00

A certified translation is a word-for-word translation required for official use by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), universities, colleges, state or federal institutions and courts.

All our certified translations are issued in accordance with the regulations established by the USCIS, the institution that most frequently requires this type of document. A certified translation includes a certificate issued on our corporate letterhead signed by the translator and a U.S. Language Services representative in PDF format.

Do you provide notarization services?2026-05-19T12:44:06-04:00

Yes. We offer notarization as an add-on to our certified translations. This service is priced per document, since each translation is notarized separately with its own notary stamp and signature.

How it works:

  • Notarization is $39 per document.
  • If you don’t need notarization for all of your documents, let us know which ones you’d like notarized when placing your order.
  • Certified and notarized translations are delivered as PDF files.
  • We notarize the certified translation only — we cannot notarize your original document. If you need the original notarized, please have that done before submitting it for translation.

Example: If you’re ordering certified translations for a birth certificate, a marriage certificate, and a bank certificate, you can notarize all three documents, just one, or any combination. You’ll only pay $39 for each translation you choose to notarize.

How much does it cost?2026-05-15T13:26:27-04:00

The price for a certified translation is $39.00 per page. No hidden fees.

Each page may contain up to 250 words or fewer including numbers. Pages may be letter size (8.5″ x 11″), A4 or smaller and one sided.

For languages that use logograms, such as Chinese, Korean and Japanese, each character is considered a word.

How are the pages counted?2026-05-15T13:31:11-04:00

When you order a certified translation, the most significant variable is how the pages of the document are calculated. We take into consideration both the number of physical pages in your original document and the total word count.

Each page may contain up to 250 words. Pages may be letter size (8.5″ x 11″), A4 or smaller and one sided.

For example: A project with 2 physical pages that each contain 500 words (1,000 words total), is calculated as 4 pages (1,000 words ÷ 250 = 4 pages).

What happens if I don’t count the number of pages correctly?2026-05-15T13:30:59-04:00

Don’t worry. Our team reviews each order individually. If the number of pages is greater, we’ll contact you with instructions on how to proceed. If you ordered pages in excess, we’ll issue you a refund using the same payment method.

How long will it take?2026-05-15T12:25:05-04:00

For most common languages, including Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian and Chinese you can expect to receive:

  • A 1-3 page translation in 2 business days
  • A 4-10 page translation in 4 business days
  • An 11-20 page translation in 6 business days
  • A 20+ page translation in 6+ business days

For orders in other language pairs, our team will review your document and provide you with the delivery date once you place your order.

Note: Orders placed after 4 p.m. EST (Eastern Standard Time) will be processed on the following business day. Delivery dates exclude weekends & holidays.

Do you offer expedited service?2026-05-20T13:48:31-04:00

With expedited service, your order is given priority and you can expect the turnaround time to be reduced by 50%.

How will my certified translation be delivered to me?2026-05-15T12:13:15-04:00

All certified translations are delivered in PDF format; we do not mail physical copies.

Who will translate my document?2026-05-15T12:24:56-04:00

Our translators have years of experience in the translation industry and specialize in different areas of service. Many of them have graduate degrees and certificates in fields such as law and engineering.

How do you ensure quality?2026-06-05T14:48:46-04:00

Each project is assigned to a translator with experience in that field to guarantee that the proper terminology is used. In addition, all translations undergo a careful revision process before they are delivered to the client.

We encourage you to take a look at any of the more than 700 reviews we have received from satisfied clients.

Do you provide apostille services?2026-05-15T12:11:00-04:00

No, we do not provide apostille services.

How are currencies and units of measurement handled?2026-05-15T12:11:11-04:00

In a certified translation, currency values cannot be converted; the currency shown in the original document must be maintained.

If you need the monetary amount to be shown in a different currency, the original document must include the conversion or a note indicating the exchange rate at the time the document was issued. In such cases, only the exchange-rate note will be translated.

The same applies to units of measurement, no conversions can be made, such as:

  • inches to centimeters
  • gallons to liters
  • miles to kilometers
