Certified translations are delivered as a non-editable PDF file and include an official English language Certificate of Translation Accuracy signed and stamped by the translator and RushTranslate, which attests to the thoroughness and accuracy of the translation and the qualifications of the translator. In addition, our certified translations:

• Are on company letterhead containing our ATA member number, phone number, and address.
• Include the order number and page number on each page.
• Are formatted similar to, but not exactly like, the source document.
• Are word-for-word translations of the source, which means some phrases might not be ideal, but we cannot interpret the meaning of a phrase, only provide an exact translation per certified translation standards.
• Do not include a copy of your source files in the same PDF unless specifically requested.

If you order a physical copy, we will ship you an unfolded copy of the translation with wet-ink signatures and stamps from the RushTranslate authorized signer and the notary in a cardboard envelope printed on 24 lb. paper via a color laser printer. We do not print and ship a copy of your source documents as you will pair our translation with the originals already in your possession.
