An expert's duty is to the court
In Hong Kong civil proceedings, Order 38, rule 35A of the Rules of the High Court and of the District Court provides that an expert's duty is to help the court on matters within the expert's expertise, and that this duty overrides any obligation to the party who instructed or paid the expert. The expert is not an advocate. Experts must also follow the Code of Conduct for Expert Witnesses in Appendix D to the Rules of the High Court, which among other things deals with disclosing their qualifications.
Expert reports in a Hong Kong file are often medical reports, valuations, engineering or accounting reports, or handwriting and document examinations. Each carries the expert's name and qualifications, the instructions received, the documents relied on, the opinion and any declaration the expert signs. We translate every part, including the exhibits list and the declaration, because a US court or agency will check them.
Technical terms and figures
Technical terms already written in English are kept as they are, figures and units are reproduced exactly, and tables are rebuilt with the same rows and columns. Chinese technical text is translated term for term; where a term has no settled English equivalent we give the closest one with the original in brackets. If the report is entirely in English, USCIS needs no translation; any Chinese text means a full translation.
Reports on a person's health relate to the medical records and disability certificate pages; valuations of a flat relate to the property deed page. Court orders appointing a single joint expert, letters of instruction and the expert's answers to written questions are translated the same way if they are in your file. A scan of the signed report is enough. Names follow passport spelling. See our Chinese page.
What USCIS requires
Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.
State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.
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 one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.
A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
