If you’ve ever needed documents translated quickly, especially for immigration, legal, or business purposes, you’ve probably wondered: How long do certified translations take?
The answer isn’t always straightforward. Translation times can vary depending on how long or complex your document is, as well as how quickly you need it. At Sure Translation, we know deadlines matter, so we guarantee all certified translations are delivered within 24 hours.
Translation turnaround time refers to how long it takes from when you send in your documents to when you receive the completed digital translation. While some agencies may take several days or a full week, Sure Translation delivers all certified translations within 24 hours.
There are several factors that can affect how long it takes to complete your translation, including document length, complexity, and certification needs.
The time it takes to complete a translation often depends on the length of the document. While a one-page birth certificate can be translated quickly, a 50-page legal document will naturally require more time for translation and careful review.
The type of document also affects how quickly it can be translated. Simple documents, like a marriage certificate or driver’s license, are generally easier to translate, while complex medical records or financial documents may take more time.
The languages being translated matter too. Common pairs, like Spanish to English, are faster because more translators are available. Rare languages can take longer since there are fewer specialists.
Documents with tables, official seals, or handwritten notes may take extra time. Translators need to make sure the translation matches the original layout and stays accurate.
Certified translations need a signed statement translation of accuracy. This adds an extra step to make sure the translation meets official standards and will be accepted by agencies like USCIS.
