Document Preparation Checklist

Before You Submit

Preparing your documents correctly helps us provide accurate translations faster. Use this checklist to ensure you have everything ready.

Document Quality Requirements

Clear and Legible

All text must be readable. If using photos, ensure good lighting and sharp focus. Blurry or dark images may delay processing.

Complete Document

Include all pages, even if some appear blank or only contain stamps. Missing pages result in incomplete translations.

Visible Stamps and Seals

Official stamps, seals, and signatures must be visible in your scan or photo. These are part of the certified translation.

No Cropped Edges

The entire document should be visible, including margins and borders. Cropped documents may miss important information.
