Who actually needs Latin translated
Not students. The Latin documents that reach us are real records that happen to be written in it: parish baptism, marriage and burial registers, which are the backbone of citizenship-by-descent claims to Italy, Poland and elsewhere; older university diplomas, which European institutions issued in Latin well into the twentieth century; ecclesiastical decrees and dispensations; and notarial or land instruments from earlier centuries.
These are genealogical and legal documents first and Latin documents second. What matters about them is the names, dates, places and relationships they record — and those are what a receiving registry, court or consulate is going to read.
Abbreviations, hands and dates
Parish registers are handwritten, often in a compressed scribal hand, and heavily abbreviated: names are latinised (Ioannes for Jan or John), dates are written out in Roman form, and standing formulae repeat with only the particulars changed. Reading them is a skill distinct from knowing Latin.
We translate what is legible, keep the latinised form alongside the vernacular name where the document gives both, and mark anything genuinely illegible as illegible. On a document being used to establish descent, an honest gap is worth far more than a plausible guess — the whole claim rests on the chain of names being right.
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.
Frequently asked questions
Can you read handwritten parish registers?
Yes, and that is most of what arrives. Anything genuinely illegible is marked as illegible rather than guessed at, because a descent claim stands or falls on the names being right.
My ancestor's name is latinised on the record.
Normal. We give the form the document uses and the vernacular equivalent where the record supports it, rather than silently substituting one for the other.
Do you translate old university diplomas in Latin?
Yes. European institutions issued them in Latin well into the twentieth century and they turn up in credential files regularly.
