Tips for a smooth process
Translations: to give you a precise quote, I need to see the entire document, including the back pages, as these often contain one or more stamps which also need to be translated.
If you wish to submit your translation abroad, an apostille or additional certification of signature is often required. Please be aware that this increases the processing time. I’d be happy to explain the process to you in detail.
Interpreting: To prepare well, I need to know the facts of the case. This especially applies to notary appointments. I am happy to let you know what information I require.
