Official document translation

An institution asks for an “official translation” but doesn't specify what that means — a sworn translator's stamp, a LEGIX certification, or a standard translation with a statement of accuracy? LEGIX finds out the exact format the specific recipient — a court, university, bank, or consulate — will accept, and translates your document in that exact form, into the language you need.

  • Any result language

Official means the format the recipient accepts, not one fixed service

This isn't the old, general "document translation" page with no analysis of the recipient's requirements. It's also not "document translation to Polish" (where the result is always in Polish) or "sworn translation into Polish" (where a stamp is always a mandatory part of the result). Here the result language can be anything — into Polish, from Polish, or between other languages — and the certification format (a sworn translator's stamp, an agency stamp, a signature with no stamp) is matched to what the specific institution actually requires.

FAQ

How is this different from “document translation” (the general page)?
The general “document translation” page doesn't analyze what a specific recipient will actually accept. Here, we first find out the exact wording of the requirement — from the institution, university, or bank — and translate in the form they'll accept, instead of one universal format.
How is this different from “document translation to Polish”?
“Document translation to Polish” is a narrower service where the result is always in Polish. Here the result language isn't fixed — we translate into Polish, from Polish, or between other languages, depending on what the recipient requires.
And how is it different from “sworn translation into Polish”?
“Sworn translation into Polish” is a product where a sworn translator's stamp is always mandatory and the result is always in Polish. Here certification isn't a fixed attribute: we provide a sworn translation, a LEGIX certification, or a translation with no certification — depending on what the specific institution will accept.
How do you know which format is required?
From the wording of the recipient's requirement — a university checklist, a bank form, an embassy's instructions. If there's no written requirement, we check directly with the institution or suggest a universally accepted format.
Which languages do you translate officially?
Any language — we're not locked to one language pair. We match a translator to the document's specific source and target language.
How much does it cost and how long does it take?
The price and timing depend on the certification format required, the languages, and the document's volume. Standard turnaround is 1–2 days; a sworn format can take 24–48 hours.
