Beyond a Signature and a Seal

One of the fundamental elements contributing to the cost of a certified translation is the translator's enrollment or registration with a professional institution. 

This means that the translator has undergone a rigorous process of credential verification, years of study, and accumulation of professional experience. 

Certified translation is not just an act of putting a signature and a seal; it is the result of dedication and effort to become a certified professional.

Confidentiality
