Certified Chinese (Simplified) apostille translation for global use

Our end-to-end workflow ensures Chinese (Simplified) documents meet international submission standards. First, a native-qualified translator produces a precise, line-by-line translation that mirrors the original layout. We then add a signed certificate of accuracy that satisfies USCIS and other governmental bodies. Next, we arrange notarization to authenticate the translator’s declaration. Finally, we secure the apostille from the relevant Secretary of State (or designated authority) under the Hague Apostille Convention.

Why it matters: many authorities require all four steps—translation, certification, notarization, and apostille—before accepting documents issued in one country for use in another. Our team coordinates each phase so you don’t have to navigate multiple offices. Digital copies are delivered promptly, while notarized and apostilled originals are shipped securely.

Timeline guidance: translation typically completes within 24–48 hours. Notarization is same-day, and apostille issuance generally takes 1–3 weeks depending on the state or authority and current workload. We’ll provide a realistic schedule at intake and keep you updated throughout.

From immigration applications to academic admissions and corporate registrations, our deliverables meet stringent global requirements.

Trusted worldwide, Kings of Translation combines precision linguistics with compliant legalization so your Chinese (Simplified) documents are accepted by USCIS and authorities across countries. One partner, complete accountability.

Quality starts with specialization. Our Chinese (Simplified) translators are vetted subject-matter experts—legal, academic, medical, and corporate—ensuring terminology and formatting align with receiving authorities’ expectations. Every certified translation includes a signed certificate of accuracy, translator credentials, and page-by-page fidelity to names, dates, seals, and stamps.

We follow USCIS and international best practices: accurate transliteration of names, clear notation for illegible elements, preservation of official stamps, and mirrored formatting. When necessary, we add translator notes to clarify handwriting or unconventional seals so reviewers can reconcile the translation with the original.

Security is paramount. Your files are handled in an encrypted environment with rigorous access controls. NDAs are available on request, and we maintain secure archival policies for document retrieval. Our 98% customer return rate reflects our service ethos and consistent results.

For travelers and expats, we also offer passport translation in addition to apostille processing, supporting relocations from one country to another without procedural delays.

Kings of Translation is recognized for reliable customer care, ATA membership, BBB A+ standing, and global acceptance—making us a trusted partner when stakes are high and timelines are tight.

We keep costs predictable. Certified Chinese (Simplified) translation starts at $32.90 per page (standard formatting) or $0.06 per word for non-standard layouts and large projects. Notarization is added for a small fee per document. Apostille certification fees vary by state or authority and shipping method. Your quote clearly itemizes each step before you approve.

Turnaround: translation in 24–48 hours, notarization the same day, and apostille issuance typically 1–3 weeks. Expedited apostille may be available in select jurisdictions. We’ll advise realistic timelines based on the issuing state, volume, and current processing times.

Delivery: certified PDFs are sent via secure download, with hard copies shipped upon request. For apostilled sets, we arrange tracked courier delivery domestically and internationally. If your receiving authority requires originals, we handle the logistics and provide status updates along the way.

If you’re still evaluating needs, our team can review your destination country’s requirements and confirm whether you need apostille or consular legalization instead. See our full process on apostille translation services or explore broader options under certified translation services.
