Certified English apostille translation services with notarization and certification

Apostille requirements can be complex. We make them manageable with a single point of contact and a clearly defined workflow. From English document translation to notarization and apostille certification, our experts coordinate every step so your documents meet destination-country standards the first time.

Here is what you get in one order: professional translation by vetted linguists, certified and formatted according to U.S. standards; same‑day notarization of the translator’s statement; and secure filing with the relevant Secretary of State to obtain the apostille. You’ll receive digital copies for review and tracking, and the original apostilled set is shipped back to you.

Our service is designed for international use—immigration filings, university admissions, employment abroad, corporate expansion, court submissions, and cross‑border agreements. Documents prepared by Kings of Translation are tailored for worldwide acceptance, particularly in Hague Convention countries that recognize the apostille as official authentication.

If you’re unsure which option you need, our specialists will advise whether an apostille, embassy legalization, or a certified translation alone is appropriate for your case. Start with our streamlined apostille translation services, or explore broader certified translation services for non-apostille needs.

Step 1 – Translation and certification: Your English documents are translated as needed or reviewed if already in English. We prepare an ATA-compliant translator’s certificate that includes the translator’s declaration and required formatting. Standard turnaround is 24–48 hours for most short documents; complex or lengthy files receive an exact timeline upfront.

Step 2 – Notarization: We notarize the translator’s certification the same day it’s finalized. This creates the notarized component required by many states prior to apostille issuance. Our notaries are authorized and follow the latest state-level requirements to avoid rejections or delays.

Step 3 – Apostille from Secretary of State: We submit the notarized packet to the appropriate Secretary of State (based on where notarization occurred). Processing times typically range from 1–3 weeks, depending on state volume and service options. Expedited filing may be available in select jurisdictions.

Delivery and tracking: You receive PDF scans for confirmation and courier tracking for the original apostilled set. We maintain strict data security throughout the process. For non-Hague countries, we can guide you to legalization steps, or you can order standard certified translation services when an apostille is not required.

Transparent pricing: Certified translation starts at $32.90 per page (simple documents) or $0.06 per word for standard translations. Notarization and apostille certification are billed separately based on state fees, shipping, and any expedited options. You’ll receive a detailed estimate before we begin so you can choose the best timeline and cost for your situation.

Turnaround: Most translations are completed within 24–48 hours. Notarization is same day. Apostille processing generally takes 1–3 weeks depending on the Secretary of State’s workload and whether you request expedited filing where available. We keep you informed with clear milestones, from translation delivery to apostille issuance.

Quality and acceptance: We are an ATA member organization with an A+ BBB rating. Our certified translations are accepted by USCIS and recognized internationally, and our apostille handling follows Hague Convention standards for global acceptance. Clients appreciate our attentive support and the fact that Kings of Translation manages the full process end‑to‑end.

Use cases: Common English apostille requests include diplomas for study abroad, powers of attorney for real estate transactions, corporate bylaws for international registrations, and background checks for employment abroad. If you also need ID pages translated, consider our passport translation service.
