Birth, marriage and death certificates, identity documents and police clearance certificates translated and certified for visa, immigration and government applications — in any language, with attestation arranged.
Personal documents are almost always attached to something with a deadline and a fee: a visa appointment, a residence application, a registration that cannot easily be rebooked. The translation is a small part of that file and one of the easiest parts to get rejected — and when it is rejected, it is nearly always over certification rather than over language.
Every translation we issue carries a signed statement of accuracy naming the translator and confirming the translation is complete and correct, which is the wording immigration authorities look for. Where the destination country also wants an apostille, we arrange MEA attestation as part of the same job rather than handing the file back half-finished. We prepare visa and immigration paperwork for clients in Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida, Mumbai, Bangalore, Punjab and Gujarat, and by post everywhere else in India.
Birth, marriage, divorce and death certificates, translated in full — registrar stamps, seals, endorsements and anything written in the margin included. A certificate with an untranslated stamp on it is an incomplete translation, and gets treated as one.
Passports, driving licences, Aadhaar and PAN, single status certificates and affidavits of relationship, usually needed as supporting evidence inside a larger visa or residence file.
Required for work visas, residence permits and PR applications, and often carrying a validity window — which makes turnaround the thing that matters most, since a certificate that expires while you wait has to be obtained again from the start.
Adoption papers, guardianship orders, gazette notifications and affidavits of name change, where the same name has to be reproduced identically across every document in the file, including its older spellings.
A phone photo is fine as long as the full page is readable — edges, stamps and anything printed or written on the reverse. Tell us the destination country and the authority the file is going to.
Everything on the page is carried across: seals, stamps, signatures, handwritten entries and printed footers, each marked where it appears rather than silently omitted because it is not part of the main text.
A signed statement of accuracy on our letterhead, naming the translator and confirming the translation is complete and accurate — the form embassies, consulates and immigration authorities ask for.
MEA apostille for countries in the Hague Convention, embassy legalisation for the rest. We confirm which one your destination needs before you pay for it, because paying for the wrong one is common and non-refundable.
Language is rarely the problem. These three are.
You cannot translate your own documents for an immigration file, however fluent you are, and a version from a friend or relative is refused for the same reason. The certification has to come from a translator with no stake in the application.
Stamps, seals, endorsements and the small print on the back are part of the record. Leave them out and the translation no longer matches the original the officer is holding next to it.
USCIS, for instance, requires a complete English translation certified as complete and accurate together with the translator's certification that they are competent to translate the language. Without that statement it is not a certified translation, whatever the heading on the page claims.
Indian records going abroad for visa and immigration files, and foreign records needed in English here.
No. Immigration authorities do not accept translations made by the applicant, and generally refuse those from family members too. The point of certification is that somebody independent of the application takes responsibility for the accuracy of the translation.
A signed statement from the translator confirming the translation is complete and accurate, together with their name, credentials and contact details, attached to the translation itself. USCIS additionally wants the translator's certification that they are competent to translate the language in question. Ours carries all of it, on letterhead.
Often, yes. Countries in the Hague Apostille Convention want MEA apostille on the document; others want embassy legalisation. Which comes first — translation or attestation — also varies by country, so tell us the destination before you start and we will sequence it correctly.
For the translation, a clear scan is enough. Attestation is different: MEA and embassy procedures usually require the original or a notarised copy, and we will tell you which one applies when we confirm your destination.
A standard certificate is normally back within 24–48 hours, with a firm date given when we quote. Apostille and embassy legalisation add their own time and are quoted separately, since those run on government and embassy schedules rather than ours.
Birth certificates, marriage certificates and police clearance certificates, followed by educational documents for work and study visas. Send the whole list of what the embassy has asked for at once — translating the set together keeps names, dates and spellings identical across every document in the file.
