Short, standard documents (diploma, transcript, passport, birth certificate) can often be sworn-translated into English the same day. A clear photo or PDF on WhatsApp starts a free pre-review; the price and turnaround are confirmed in writing within 30 minutes. If notarization is needed, delivery depends on the notary's working hours.
Which documents can be done same-day
Short, standard documents — diploma, transcript, passport, ID, birth certificate, criminal record — can usually be delivered the same day. Multi-page contracts, technical reports or handwritten documents may take longer.
How the process works
You send a clear photo or PDF of the document on WhatsApp. Within 30 minutes you receive the price and turnaround in writing. After approval the translation is prepared, signed and stamped, and delivered digitally or in print.
The effect of notarization and courier
If only a sworn translation is needed, same-day delivery is often possible. If notarization is required, delivery depends on the notary's working hours. If a printed original is couriered, delivery also includes the courier time.
