Exact. Complete. Page for page.
When an official document has to work in another language, the details are everything. Locstars puts your file with a subject-specialist linguist who is a native speaker of the target language, transcribes every name and date exactly as the source shows it, and reproduces the original’s layout page for page. Before you order, ask the body that will receive the document what form it requires — we deliver in that form.
Official documents are translated in full by a subject-specialist linguist who is a native speaker of your target language, with the original’s layout and stamp positions reproduced. Ask the body that will receive your document what form it requires before you order — we deliver in that form.
Most rejections come down to three things: names spelled differently than in the passport, missing seals or illegible stamps left untranslated, and formatting that doesn’t mirror the original. We check all three line by line, match transliterations to your existing documents, and note every stamp and seal—so your file goes through the first time.
Official documents carry personal and legal information. Every file is handled under strict confidentiality, shared only with the linguists assigned to your project.
Who decides whether my translated document is accepted?
The body receiving it decides, not us. Tell us which body it is going to — a court, an embassy, a university or an immigration office — and the country where you will use it, before you order.
How do you handle an official document — a contract, a deed or a court filing?
Your document is translated in full by a subject specialist who is a native speaker of the target language. Names and dates are transcribed exactly as the source shows them — passport spelling for names, and one spelling per person or company across a set of files. The original’s layout, tables and stamp positions are reproduced. Ask the receiving body what form it needs before ordering, and we deliver in that form.
How long does the translation of an official document take?
Short documents are usually turned around in days rather than weeks, and you get a firm delivery date with the quote before you commit. A rush option is available, and revision by a second linguist stays in place where it is quoted rather than being dropped to save time.
How much does the translation of an official document cost?
Official documents are usually priced per page, and every line of the quote is itemized before you commit to anything. Send a clear scan through the form and the quote comes back at no cost and fixed.
How will names be spelled?
Exactly as in your passport or existing official documents—we ask for a reference before starting, because inconsistent spelling is the top cause of rejection.
