How long does a certified translation take?
Most standard documents (birth certificates, diplomas, simple contracts) are completed within 24 to 48 hours. Larger projects or those requiring notarization may take slightly longer, but we always provide an estimated delivery date with your quote.
Is a notarized translation the same as a certified one?
Not exactly. A certified translation includes a signed statement from the translator attesting to its accuracy. A notarized translation involves a Notary Public witnessing the translator's signature on that statement. We provide both services as required by the receiving institution.
Can you translate documents for visa applications?
Yes, our certified English to Spanish translation services in Ecuador are specifically designed to meet the requirements of immigration offices and embassies. We ensure all terminology matches official standards.
Do you offer discounts for large documents?
Yes! We offer automatic discounts starting from the 3rd page of your document. For very large manuals or extensive legal cases, we provide custom volume pricing to ensure you get the best value.
Can I send a photo of my document instead of a scan?
While a high-resolution scan is preferred for clarity and professional presentation, a clear, flat, well-lit photograph is often sufficient to begin the translation process. Please ensure all text is legible.
What are your business hours?
We are open Monday through Friday from 08:30 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 17:30. We are closed on weekends and national holidays, though our online quote request form is available 24/7.
