Certified, Sworn, Legal, Medical and Corporate Translation Services in India

Yes, redo work is a real part of our intake. Send the original document, the rejection notice (most embassies issue one in writing), the receiving authority, and the rejected translation. Most rejections we examine fall into one of three buckets: wrong format (certified when sworn was required, or vice versa), missing seals or stamps in the translated copy, or translator not on the empanelled list (Italian Embassy, Czech Ministry of Justice list, Spanish jurada list, etc.). We diagnose first, then quote. We do not start work until we have identified what specifically caused the rejection.

Germany, Spain and Czech Republic require court-sworn translators by law for almost all official submissions. Italy requires Embassy-empanelled translators for student visa files at Delhi and Mumbai consulates. The number of sworn or empanelled translators for Indian language pairs is small, their hourly rate is set by their regulator, and they hold legal liability for what they sign. We pass that cost through transparently. We never substitute an unsworn translator for a file that needs sworn translation. That is the most common reason translations get rejected after delivery.

Certified is a translation with a signed accuracy declaration from the translator or agency. Sworn is done by a translator who has taken an oath before a court or government authority in the destination country (Germany, Spain, Czech, Italy, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia, parts of France). Notarised adds a notary public's verification of the translator's signature on top. Empanelled means the translator appears on a specific authority's pre-approved list (the Italian Embassy in Delhi keeps such a list; some German state authorities do too). Which one applies depends entirely on the receiving authority. We confirm before we start.

Yes. We translate directly from the Indian source script (Devanagari, Tamil, Bengali, Gujarati and similar) into the target foreign language. No English intermediary. Routing through an English step is something we avoid because it introduces errors, especially in proper nouns, place names and government department names. The translator must be fluent in both the source Indian language and the target foreign language. That is a smaller pool, but it is the right pool.

Tell us the deadline at the start, not at the end. We have done 24 to 48 hour turnarounds for Arabic and short Italian files when the embassy slot was locked and the file was clean. We will not take rush work where the deadline forces us to skip the sworn translator step, skip the format verification call, or use a generalist instead of a domain translator. That is the path to a rejected file in 5 days instead of an accepted one in 8.

It depends on the receiving authority. Italian Embassy New Delhi mostly does not accept Italy-side translations for student visa files. They want their own empanelled translator list. Some German state authorities accept beeidigter Übersetzer from inside Germany. Saudi authorities sometimes prefer Arabic translation done and notarised inside India. Tell us where the document is going and where the existing translation came from. We will say whether it works.

Files are accessed by the assigned translator and one case coordinator. No general team access. NDA on letterhead is signed before file transfer if you ask. After delivery, files are archived in encrypted storage and not used for any other purpose. Many law firms, M&A consultancies and corporate HR teams use us specifically because we do not subcontract files to a wider freelance pool the way many agencies do.

Each file is assigned one coordinator from intake to delivery. You have their direct WhatsApp. For combined apostille and translation work, the same coordinator tracks every sub-step: SDM or notary, state HRD where applicable, MEA apostille, translator handover, courier in and out. That is how we avoid the "your file is with another team" loop that most agencies fall into.

If the rejection is on a translation defect that is our fault (typo, missed stamp, wrong format we recommended), we redo the translation at no cost and absorb the apostille re-attestation cost where it applies. If the rejection happens because the customer briefed the wrong destination or authority, we re-quote at a discount. We do not write this policy on a marketing page and then dispute it later. Ask any of our referral customers.

For B2B and corporate work, we share anonymised samples of similar document type and language pair. We do not share other customers' files. For high-volume engagements (visa consultancies, ed-tech, corporate HR), we run a paid sample on one document before scaling, so you see exactly what the receiving authority will get. That is preferable to free samples done by junior translators that do not reflect production work.

WhatsApp the scan to +91 92201 61774 along with the target language and the country or authority the document is for. We come back with the format the authority needs, the realistic timeline, and the quote. Usually within a few working hours. For translation alone, a clear scan is enough. For combined apostille and translation, we pick up the original from your address in any major Indian city through our own courier handling. Lamination removal, packaging, photo and video record. Done by our staff, not a delivery app.
