Why JR Tech Trans
A single translator, accountable for the whole job
- Three source languages, one target — German, French and Italian into English only. Translating into my own native language is what keeps the English natural rather than merely correct.
- Certification included — every certified job ships with a signed statement of accuracy and my credentials, at no extra charge.
- Format matched to the original — seals, stamps, signatures and marginal notes are all described in place, so a reviewer can follow the source page by page.
- You talk to the translator — questions about a smudged entry or an unusual title come straight to me, and answers come straight back.
- Confidential by default — files are handled privately, never published, and deleted on request once the job is closed.
- Dates you can plan around — I quote a delivery date up front and tell you before you commit if it cannot be met.

FAQ
Questions I am asked most
What makes a translation “certified”?
A certified translation is a complete, accurate rendering of the original, accompanied by a signed and dated statement in which I confirm my competence in the language pair and the accuracy of the work. That statement is what registrars, immigration authorities, courts and universities look for.
Will it be accepted by USCIS or a university?
Yes. Translations are prepared in the format these bodies expect: a full translation of every entry, stamp and seal, laid out to mirror the original, with the certificate of accuracy attached. If an institution has its own wording requirement, send it to me and I will follow it exactly.
Do you provide notarisation or an apostille?
Notarisation certifies the signature on the certificate, not the translation itself. I can arrange it when a receiving body insists on it. An apostille is issued by a government authority on the original document, so it has to be obtained from the issuing country before translation.
How long does it take?
Standard turnaround for a one- or two-page civil record is two to three business days from the moment the quote is accepted. Longer or highly technical documents are quoted with their own date. Rush work is possible for short documents, subject to availability.
How much will my translation cost?
Certified civil records start at $45 per page and longer texts from $0.14 per source word. The final figure depends on length, legibility and formatting, and is always confirmed in writing before work starts — there is no charge for asking.
My document is old and handwritten. Can you still read it?
Usually, yes. Old German civil records in Kurrent or Sütterlin script, faded stamps and cramped marginal notes are routine. Where a word is genuinely illegible it is marked as such in the translation rather than guessed at.
What happens to my documents?
They are used to produce your translation and nothing else. Files are never shared or published, and they are deleted on request once the job is closed. This website itself stores nothing you type into the quote form — your own email client sends it.
What if a name or date is wrong?
Tell me and it is corrected immediately at no charge. Spellings of names are the single most common correction, which is why I ask for passport spellings up front.
