1. Inquiry
Email the document(s) you need translated
You can also mail photocopies, but do not send original documents, I will not be responsible for them
No scanner? Do not send photos, they are usually blurry and difficult to work with. Use a scanning app on your phone, for example TurboScan works great.
Make sure it’s legible and nothing is cut off or missing
Include your full name, telephone number, email and mailing address
When do you really need it? Do not say “ASAP” — instead say “in a couple days”, “by next Tuesday” or “a week or two”
Do you need it certified? If so, does the certification need to be notarized? See FAQ.
2. Confirmation
I will reply via email within 24 business hours with my rate, an approximate cost, and delivery estimate
You must accept my terms via email, and I must have all your contact info (as above) before I start translating
If confirmation takes too long and it’s a short turnaround job, the delivery estimate will change
3. Delivery
If necessary, I may email a pdf draft to clarify something
I email a pdf of the finished translation for your records
I mail certified/notarized translation, or we arrange for you to pick up
4. Payment
After delivery I will email an invoice
I accept check via mail, cash in person, Paypal and credit card (3% surcharge, see below)
To pay with a credit card, Paypal charges about 3% for the transaction. I will send a "money request" through Paypal with this 3% surcharge included
