Readily available, helpful, and professional customer service. I had all my questions answered and my translation ordered within 20 minutes of accessing the webpage, and all via online chat. In an era of online chatbots, it was a pleasure to have a clear, efficient, communication with a human being. Aaron was excellent.
I needed to get a document translated into French. I found Vanan Online Services. My representative Vincent provided a low cost quote, handled my matter quickly, professionally, and my document was to me within 24 hours. Great job Vincent nd Great job Vanan. I have you saved in my contacts. 👍👍👍
I have been utilizing the translation services of Vanan on and off for nearly a decade now. It has been so seamless working with them. Would recommend Vanan for anyone needing documents translated from Haitian Creole and/or French to English!
Very friendly service from start to finish. I needed a certain part of my divorce decree translated and they went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied with the final result. Also, I forgot to mention that they delivered way earlier than I expected. I highly recommend them :)))

It states that the translation is complete and accurate, names the document and the language pair, confirms the translator's competence in both languages, and carries the translator's or an authorized company representative's signature, printed name and the date. The American Translators Association describes these as the recommended minimum elements of a certification statement. Vanan Services is a corporate member of the American Translators Association (ATA). A sample certificate of translation is shown further down this page.

Difference Between Notarized and Certified Translations
A certified translation is a complete translation with a signed statement from the translator or translation company that it is accurate and complete; a notarized translation adds a notary public who witnesses the signature on that statement. The notary confirms the identity of the person signing the certificate; the notary does not check the translation itself. For our certified notarized translation services we arrange notarization of the certificate signature through notaries in New York, New Jersey and Virginia, for $15 per page with $5 for each additional certificate.
Some universities, courts and foreign authorities ask for notarized translation services, for example for the verification of diplomas, previous courses, and application documents. USCIS does not require notarization of a certified translation; requirements of other receivers in the United States vary, so check the receiver's instructions. If you are not sure which type the receiver needs, send us the receiver's instructions and we will advise before you order.
Our notarized translation services also extend to government agency translation, ensuring that official documents are accurately prepared for government use.

How to Find Us?
A certified translation comes with a signed statement from the translator or translation company, declaring that the translated text is an accurate and complete rendition of the original document. This statement is usually stamped with a seal or company letterhead.
Common types of documents that require certified translations include birth certificates, marriage certificates, legal documents, immigration papers, and educational transcripts. These translations are necessary for official use where verifiable accuracy is critical.
A one-page certificate is usually delivered from 1 business day, and orders of up to 10 pages take 1–8 business days depending on the language. Rush delivery within 2 to 24 hours is available depending on the language and volume. Your quote confirms the delivery date before work starts.
Check five things before you order: the certificate of translation is included and signed; the price is stated per page with the number of words a page holds; the translation is done by people, not software; the company's memberships and ratings, such as corporate membership of the American Translators Association and a Better Business Bureau rating, can be checked with those organizations; and the revision terms are written down. Vanan Services includes the certificate with every order, prices certificates from $25 per page on orders of 16+ pages ($45 per page for 1–5 pages), uses human translators only, is an ATA corporate member with a BBB A+ rating, and offers free revisions for 30 days after delivery.
Ordering online does not by itself decide acceptance: receivers such as USCIS, courts and universities look at the translation and its signed certificate, not at whether you ordered it online or in person. Some receivers also ask for a notarized certificate or a printed copy, and both are available as add-ons. Check the receiver's instructions before you order; the receiver's own review decides acceptance.
In the United States, any translator or translation company that is competent in both languages can certify a translation by signing a statement that it is complete and accurate; there is no single nationwide licence for translators in the United States and USCIS does not keep an approved list. The American Translators Association explains this on its client-assistance page. Vanan Services includes a signed certificate of translation with every certified order.
The certificate states that the translation is complete and accurate, names the document and the language pair, confirms the translator's competence in both languages, and carries the translator's or an authorized company representative's signature, printed name and the date. You can view a sample certificate of translation on this page before you order. The certificate is included at no charge.
Certifying your own translation, or a family member's, may lead to rejection, because many receivers want an independent certification. Check the receiving organization's requirements before relying on self-certification; if it asks for an independent translator or company, order a certified translation and keep the receiver's instructions with your file.
Certificates and official documents cost $45 per page for 1–5 pages, $35 per page for 6–15 pages and $25 per page for 16+ pages, with one page counted as 250 words. The certificate of translation is included. Notarization is $15 per page with $5 for each additional certificate, an apostille is $100 for the first certificate and $10 for each additional one, and a printed copy by mail is $25 per order. The minimum order is $25 and a 5% transaction fee applies to the order subtotal.
Files are transferred over a secure connection, access is limited to the team assigned to your order, and a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is available on request. Your documents are used only to complete your order.
Yes. A printed copy by mail is $25 per order with shipping included; overnight mail is available at an extra charge. Extra printed translations are $10 per copy of 1–10 pages and $20 for 11–20 pages, and extra printed certificates are $5 per copy.
Yes. We provide certified English translation services from 100+ languages for customers submitting documents in the United States, and translations from English into other languages for use abroad. Requirements for sworn translations vary by receiving country and authority.
