Frequently asked questions
How much does a certified translation or an apostille cost?
Prices depend on the document, the language pair, the destination country and the deadline. That is why we quote every request individually — send us a scan or photo and we reply with a fixed price, usually within one business day.
Which documents do I need to send for a quote?
A clear scan or phone photo of each page is enough. Tell us the country and the authority that will receive the document, and your deadline.
What is an apostille and do I need one?
An apostille certifies the signature and seal on a public document so it is accepted in other Hague Convention countries. Whether you need one depends on the destination country — see our country guide or ask us.
Do you translate Bislama?
Yes. We translate between Bislama, English and French, and between Bislama and other languages, for official documents, statements and community materials.
Do I have to come to Port Vila?
No. Most work is done remotely. When originals are needed, we explain how to send them safely by courier or drop-off.
How long does it take?
Standard certified translations of short documents usually take a few business days. Apostilles and embassy legalization depend on the authorities involved. We give you a clear timeline in our quote, and express service is available.
