Frequently asked questions
General
Translation fees are generally calculated based on word count and complexity. However, I charge a flat rate ($40+tax) for ONE standard-length certificate (Basic, Marriage and Family Relations) or identification (driver's licence, etc.). Discounts are available if you request four (4) or more certificates at once for your family. For any other document(s), custom quote applies based on word count and complexity of the content. If you want to know the exact total amount, please upload your documents at my Get a Quote page or send a scanned copy to my email (ginabyuntrans@gmail.com). I will review it and send you a quote shortly. Please note that I need to see the document in full in order to give you a quote. Since a copy of the original document is included in the final translation package, please make sure the scanned copy of your document is of the highest quality possible.
The turnaround time usually depends on the length, volume and complexity of the document to be translated. For up to three (3) standard-length certificates, it takes anywhere between a few hours to 1 business day to prepare the final translation package.
