Generals

For simple translations (those not certified by an expert translator), we can translate from any source language to any target language, according to your needs.

  • In Mexico, a certified translation is one which is done by a Perito translator, in other words, a certified translator or an expert specialized in translations, who is endorsed by a state entity to which it belongs, and which guarantees that the translation is true to the original document. 
  • In the United States there is no such thing as a Perito translator. A certified translation is one that is ratified before a Notary Public or a statement from the company that ensures the translation is true to the original document.

It is important to contact the entity that requested the translated document in order to confirm if a certified translation is necessary and what type of certification is needed. 

Consecutive, simultaneous, video, over the phone, bilateral, whispering and escort.

We have a broad range of languages we are able to interpret to, as well as a variety of combinations.

The one the entity requesting the document accepts as valid.

Valid certifications in Mexico may be those endorsed by the Federal Judiciary Council or by the Supreme Court of Justice of each state. The perito or expert translator is granted the power to certify the validity of the translations.

Two ways to guarantee a translation is through an Affidavit, a certification obtained by a Notary Public, or with the USA certificate, which is granted by the company.

A translation cannot be certified twice. The certification of the document must be the one requested by the entity with whom the procedure is to be carried out.
