From Afrikaans to Zulu, we offer translations to and from any language in the world.

A certified translation is a document translated by a professional translator and accompanied by a signed Certificate of Accuracy. A notarized translation bears a notary’s seal and is an additional service that involves adding the signature of a notary to your document. You can always contact us if you’re not sure what type of document you need. Our experienced advisors are here to help.

A sworn translator is a translator who has been certified by the government of his or her residence and can directly stamp their translations as accurate and faithful to the original document. The system in the US and many other countries works differently and we combine our agency certification with a notary’s signature to achieve the equivalent standard.

Yes. Day Translations provides certified translations for all official documents, such as birth certificates. We’ll even certify your document free of charge.

Email your documents to contact@daytranslations.com, fax them to 1-800-856-2759, or text them from your mobile to 1-415-335-4877 and we will provide you with a FREE quote in less than 10 minutes.

The time we take to translate your documents will depend on your project size, document complexity and required language(s). We don’t offer a “one-size-fits-all” solution or service. And, as every request is different, we invite you to contact us to discuss your individual requirements. We’ll always do our best to exceed your expectations, within any deadline.

No. An original copy of your document is not necessary. A scanned copy via email, fax, or photograph is sufficient.

Countries belonging to The Hague Convention named their international certification “apostille”. An apostille is the legalization of a document for international use. If an apostille from one Hague Convention member country is attached to a person’s birth certificate, marriage certificate, or other legal document and presented to another member country, then no further certification or legalization is required.

There are no other types of apostilles. When you request an apostille on a document, it automatically states that it is part of the Convention of The Hague 1961.

In 1961, many nations joined in Hague with the purpose of creating an international agreement on simplifying the acceptance of legal documents, such as marriage certificates and birth certificates worldwide. This group of nations is known as the Hague Convention. They adopted a document referred to as an “apostille” that is internationally recognized by all member nations.

The 81 States / Regional Economic Integration Organizations listed below have accepted the Statute and are Members of the Hague Conference on Private International Law: Albania, Andorra, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Canada, Chile, China, People’s Republic of, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Egypt, Estonia, European Union, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Korea, Republic of, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Malta, Mauritius, Mexico, Monaco, Montenegro, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Moldova, Romania, Russian Federation, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Suriname, Sweden, Switzerland, The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, United States of America, Uruguay, Venezuela, Vietnam, Zambia.

The kinds of documents that require an apostille range from powers of attorney, birth certificates, adoption certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, and death certificates, to incorporation papers, corporate documents, school diplomas and transcripts, deeds and wills, agreements, bills of sale, job certifications and other legal papers.

To get started with a translation and apostille, first request a quote. Once Day Translations has completed and certified your translation, your certified translation will be notarized and apostilled in the U.S. for use in the foreign country where you will present your documents.

Yes, we are a certified professional translation company with the ability to translate and apostille your documents for any country in the world.

This is a question that should be directed to the authorities in the country in which the documents will be presented.

Your documents will be returned to you in an average of 7 business days after Day Translations receives them (the time depends on the type of document and the type of service you require).

An Embassy Legalization is required when the country where you intend to use your documents is a non-member of the Hague Convention.

Translation is the conversion of text from one language into another. The “target text,” or “translation” communicates the same message. Interpreting is the intellectual activity that consists of facilitating oral or sign language communication, either simultaneously or consecutively, between people who do not speak or sign the same language.

From Afrikaans to Zulu, we offer experienced interpreters for any language pair in the world.

Simultaneous interpretation (also known as conference interpretation, or real-time interpreting) is when the speaker’s voice is interpreted without interruption as he/she is speaking. The interpreter listens to one language and speaks in another, simultaneously, the two voices speaking at once. Research has shown that 23 cognitive skills are involved in simultaneous interpreting. Simultaneous interpretation usually requires specific sound equipment. In consecutive interpreting, the interpreter waits until the speaker completes an idea (a passage of speech, a sentence, a shorter part of a speech, or a logical unit) and translates it into the foreign language. Therefore, consecutive interpretation requires pauses between passages for the interpretation to be spoken. First, the interpreter listens to the entire phrase then she/he interprets it into the desired language.

Sight translation is an oral translation of a written text.

Yes. Our interpreters have extensive experience in tailoring their interpretations to your needs. We provide interpretation services for many different fields in every language in any city in the world. If you use specialized terminology, please discuss this with your customer service representative upfront. We may request that you provide us with additional information to help our interpreters familiarize themselves with your industry.

We can provide you with an interpreter in any city in the world. We can also provide multiple interpreters and booths for large conferences, wherever they are.

All our language professionals are qualified, accredited, and/or hold linguistic degrees. When Day Translations selects an interpreter for you, we make sure that they have the language expertise as well as the in-depth technical experience to perfectly fit your needs.

Interpretation service fees vary greatly based on the language requested, the type of interpreter you need, the experience of the interpreter, their training and certification, the complexity of the assignment, the duration of the appointment, and the appointment location. Please contact us with the details of your project.
