Frequently Asked Questions
Can you translate a Tanzanian birth certificate?
Yes. Tanzanian civil documents are one of our most common requests — birth, marriage, and death certificates issued by RITA and local registries. As a native Tanzanian specialist, our translator recognises the exact terminology and layout of these documents and translates them into clear, accurate English (or the reverse) with the original formatting preserved.
Do you provide certified document translation?
Yes. We offer a certified version that includes a signed statement of accuracy, suitable for most immigration, academic, and legal submissions. If your receiving institution requires a specific format — sworn, notarised, or apostille-supported — tell us when you request a quote and we will confirm what we can provide. See our certified translation service for full details.
How much does document translation cost?
Certificates and short documents are usually priced as a flat per-document rate, while longer documents are priced per word. Because layout, certification, and turnaround all affect the price, we give you a fixed quote before any work begins — send us the document and you will have a firm price, typically within 2 hours. See our pricing page for starting rates.
What formats do you accept?
You can send PDF scans, JPG or PNG photos, DOCX files, or clear photographs taken on your phone. As long as every page is fully legible, we can work from it. Delivery is a formatted PDF that mirrors your original, with an editable file available on request.
How long does document translation take?
A single certificate is usually ready within 24 hours. Standard documents of up to ten pages take one to two business days, and larger legal or multi-document bundles take three to five business days. Rush delivery is available — ask when you request your quote.
Is my document kept confidential?
Yes. Personal and legal documents are handled under strict confidentiality, and we are happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement before you send anything. Files are shared securely and are never passed to third parties.
Which languages and dialects do you cover?
We translate between English and Swahili in both directions. All Swahili work follows Kiswahili Sanifu — the standard Swahili used in official Tanzanian and East African documents — so your translation reads correctly for government offices, universities, and courts.
