Party experts, court experts and forensic institutes

In Spanish civil proceedings an expert opinion (dictamen pericial) can be commissioned by a party and filed with the claim or defence, or produced by an expert the court appoints. Every expert must declare, under oath or promise, that they acted as objectively as possible, considering what favours and what harms each party, and that they know the criminal penalties for breaching that duty. We translate that declaration with the rest of the report.

Forensic work for the courts is done by the Institutes of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences, one in each city that is the seat of a High Court of Justice, and by the National Institute of Toxicology and Forensic Sciences of the Ministry of Justice, which also reports for private parties in court proceedings, for example in DNA paternity cases.

Structure, annexes and technical terms

Reports usually set out who commissioned them and the questions asked, the material examined, the method, and conclusions answering each question in turn. We keep the numbering of questions and conclusions so each answer can be matched to its question, and we translate photo captions, tables and annexes. Technical and Latin terms are translated precisely or kept as written. Signatures and seals are noted where they appear.

For DNA cases, see the Spanish paternity acknowledgment page; for medical evidence, the Spanish medical records page. For use in a US court, see court-certified translation. Reports from Latin America have their own pages, such as the Mexican expert report page. Scans of the full report, including annexes and photographs, are enough; we do not need the original. Expert opinions from Spanish criminal cases are translated the same way.

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.
