Certified Latin apostille translation and legalization services

Latin is precise, but context and legal nuances matter. Our Latin translators include legal and academic specialists who accurately render classical and ecclesiastical Latin into target languages (primarily English), preserving terminology, seals, and formatting. Each translation is issued on company letterhead with a signed certification statement that meets the requirements of U.S. courts and agencies.

We provide a complete chain: translation, certification, notarization, and obtaining the apostille from the relevant Secretary of State (for U.S. documents) or competent authority. This end‑to‑end approach prevents delays and rejections often caused by inconsistent formatting or missing certifications.

Typical turnaround is 24–48 hours for translation, same‑day notarization, and 1–3 weeks for apostille processing depending on the issuing state or country. Expedited options are available in many jurisdictions. You receive status updates at every step, with secure digital copies and tracked delivery for hard copies when required.

Kings of Translation is trusted worldwide. Our certified translations are accepted by USCIS and recognized under the Hague Apostille Convention in 120+ countries. For non‑Hague jurisdictions, we coordinate consular legalization when needed. If you need translation only, our certified translation services are available at transparent, straightforward rates.

We regularly translate and legalize Latin documents such as academic diplomas, transcripts, ecclesiastical certificates, legal opinions, corporate documents, powers of attorney, and historical or archival records. Whether the document originated in the U.S., the Vatican City, Italy, or another jurisdiction, we prepare it for cross‑border use.

An apostille is typically required when presenting a public document in a different country that is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. Common scenarios include immigration filings with USCIS, university admissions, professional licensing, court proceedings, international adoptions, or cross‑border business registrations.

Our certified translations are formatted to match official standards: translator’s declaration, company letterhead, unique reference, date, and seal. We then notarize the certification and submit for apostille. When authorities request identity records alongside Latin documents, we can also help with passport translation for a consistent, compliant package.
