How long does a certified translation take?

The time needed for a certified translation depends on the document type, length, and the translator’s availability. Most certified translations of short documents, like birth certificates or diplomas, take 1 to 3 working days. Larger or more complex documents, such as contracts or multi-page files, may require more time, typically up to 5 working days.

Key factors that affect turnaround:

  • Document length and complexity
  • Language combination
  • Translator’s current workload
  • Urgency (express service may be available)

It’s always best to contact the translator directly to confirm the exact timeframe.
