Overview
What this service covers
A translation is only useful if the receiving authority will accept it. Requirements differ: some authorities require a sworn or court-appointed translator, some require the translator's certificate to be notarised, and some require the translation itself to be legalised alongside the original.
We establish which standard applies, commission the translation to that standard, and carry it through any notarisation or legalisation that follows — so you receive a document set that is ready to submit rather than one that needs reworking.

Why Docurement
What makes the difference
Accepted, not just accurate
The translation standard matters as much as the translation quality. We work to the standard the receiving authority actually applies.
Terminology that holds up
Legal and technical documents are translated by specialists, because an imprecise term in a contract or filing has consequences.
One instruction, finished set
Translation and legalisation are managed together, so you do not have to sequence them yourself.
FAQs
Common questions
A sworn translation is produced by a translator formally authorised for the purpose in the relevant jurisdiction, and carries their attestation. Not every authority requires this — some accept a certified translation with a translator's statement. We confirm which is needed for your submission.
Sometimes. Certain authorities require the translator's certificate to be notarised, and then apostilled or consular-legalised. Where that applies we handle it as part of the same instruction.
Arabic and English are our highest-volume pairing, and we cover a wide range of other languages through our translation network. Tell us the language pair and destination and we will confirm.
