Frequently asked questions

Why do I need have my documents professionally translated?

If you are about to submit your documents to any official jurisdiction in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal or anywhere in Canada or USA, most likely certified translation will be required. This requirement arises from intention to mitigate the risk of translation misrepresentation. Certified translator bears responsibility to create accurate word by word translation from the language he or she works to without alterations.

Such can not be said about machine translation which sometimes distorts meaning of the text dramatically.

How much does the translation cost?

Cost usually depends on the complexity, nature of the text and certification requirements for the final document, for example Notary certification might be needed. At DocsBase Canada we always strive to offer to our clients the best possible price without sacrificing the quality.
