The personal code carries the date of birth
An Estonian isikukood is eleven digits, and the first encodes century and sex while the next six are the date of birth: a code beginning 3 or 4 means born in the 1900s, 5 or 6 in the 2000s. It appears on every Estonian document and it is checkable rather than arbitrary.
That makes it useful evidence and also means a transcription error is visible. We reproduce it in full and never reformat it.
A language with no gender and no future tense
Estonian has no grammatical gender — the same pronoun covers he and she — so a document may not indicate a person's sex anywhere except the personal code. A translation that supplies "he" from an assumption is inventing a fact.
Estonian also has fourteen cases, which change the ending of a name depending on its role in the sentence: Tallinn, Tallinna, Tallinnas are one city. A reader who does not know that sees three places. We give names in their base form and explain the inflection where a document uses several.
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.
