Accredited translation companies
If you need to have documents translated for official purposes such as applying for a visa, a school or an employment opportunity, you need to get help from official translation services NYC. Official translation professionals usually charge a little more for their services but the translated document might not be accepted by the government agency, school or company that requested the translation if you select another option.
Official translation services are accredited by professional organizations such as ATA (American Translators Association) or NAJIT (National Association of Judicial Translators and Interpreters), and offer high quality translations. A translator has to prove they master the language they want to specialize in and pass a test to obtain an official certification. Choosing a professional translation service that is not officially accredited might be cheaper but you might not obtain a high quality translation.
Certified official translations
These translation services offer certified translations which include the official translation of the original content as well as a second document that certifies the translation was completed by an accredited professional. If you need to submit a certified translation to apply to a school, a job or a visa, you should know that your translation will not be accepted unless you can show the document that says your translation was prepared by an accredited professional.
Finding professional translators
You can find many official translation services in New York, on the Internet or talk to your friends, relatives or colleagues to learn more about local services. Remote translation services are a great option since you can easily send your document via email or fax and receive the completed translation within a short time-frame.
The best way to choose a great translation service is to check feedback posts written by clients to make sure you will receive a high quality translation in a reasonable time-frame. You should also call different services to get an idea of the kind of customer service you will receive. If you cannot easily get a representative on the phone or if the person you talk to cannot answer your questions, it is best to select a different translation service.
Translation rates
Compare rates between different translation agencies in NYC but keep in mind that official or certified translations are more expensive than translations prepared by professionals who are not accredited. However, you can expect to receive a high quality translation you will be able to use for official purposes. Take the time to compare your different options and don’t hesitate to call different translation services so that you can ask questions and get a better idea of what to expect.
