The court appoints the expert, and that changes everything
In common-law practice each side retains its own expert and the court weighs them. In most of the civil-law world the court appoints a single neutral expert from an official register, and that expert's report carries a weight no party-retained US report has.
A US reader treating a court-appointed perito judicial or a German gerichtlicher Sachverständiger as the other side's hired expert has misread the document's standing completely. We translate the appointment order and the expert's registration alongside the report, because that is what establishes what it is.
The methodology section is not filler
Civil-law expert reports devote substantial space to the questions put by the court, the materials examined, the method applied and the limits of the finding — and those sections are what a court relies on when weighing the conclusion.
A translation that compresses them to get to the conclusion has removed the part that makes the conclusion usable. We translate the report in full, including annexes, photographic captions, tables and the expert's CV where it is attached.
Kinds of report, and the vocabulary each needs
Expert reports reach us as medical and psychiatric evaluations, accident and engineering reconstructions, valuations of property and businesses, handwriting and document examinations, accounting and forensic audits, and psychological assessments in custody and asylum matters.
Each has a technical vocabulary that a generalist renders approximately, and approximate is not good enough in a document whose purpose is precision. Tell us the field when you order and we will assign accordingly.
The oath, the signature and the seals
A civil-law expert report closes with the expert's oath or declaration, their professional registration number, their signature and frequently the seal of their professional college. Those elements are what make it admissible.
We translate all of them, including the college seal text and the registration number, rather than describing the page as signed and stamped. A report arriving in the United States without its endorsements translated looks like an unsigned opinion.
How it works
Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.
A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.
Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.
Certified vs. standard translation
A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where a page is up to 250 words.
A standard translation is for business or personal use where certification is not needed, such as CVs, client intake forms or marketing material, and is billed at the same $24.95 per page of up to 250 words.
Frequently asked questions
Is a court-appointed expert the same as our expert witness?
No. In most civil-law systems the court appoints a single neutral expert from an official register, and the report carries weight a party-retained report does not.
Can you translate just the conclusions?
We can, and we would advise against it. The questions put, the method and the stated limits are what make the conclusion usable in court.
Do you handle technical fields?
Yes, and we assign by field. Tell us whether it is medical, engineering, forensic accounting or valuation when you order.
Do you translate the seals and registration numbers?
Yes. They are what make the report admissible, and a report without them translated reads as an unsigned opinion.
