Certified translation services in Vanuatu
Accurate, certified translations of your official documents — for immigration, study, marriage, courts and business — in English, French, Bislama and more than 20 other languages.
A certified translation is a complete and accurate translation accompanied by a signed statement from the translator or translation company confirming that it faithfully reflects the original. It is what embassies, immigration departments, universities, courts and civil registries usually ask for.
Our translators work into their native language and specialise in legal, administrative and technical texts. Each translation is checked by a second linguist, laid out like the original (stamps, seals and signatures are described) and delivered as a signed PDF and/or paper copy.
Where an authority requires more — a notarized translation, a sworn translator in the destination country or an apostille on the translation — we organise it for you.

What is the difference between a certified and a normal translation?
A certified translation comes with a signed statement confirming that it is complete and accurate, plus the translator's or company's details. Authorities generally require this for official documents.
Will my certified translation be accepted abroad?
Requirements depend on the country and the authority. Tell us where the translation will be used — we prepare it to their rules and, if needed, add notarization, apostille or legalization.
How much does a certified translation cost?
The price depends on the language pair, the length and complexity of the document and the deadline. Standard certificates are usually priced per document. Send us a scan for an exact quote.
Do you translate into and from Bislama?
Yes. We translate Bislama to English and French and vice versa, as well as between Bislama and other languages.
