How much does a certified translation or legalization cost?

The price depends on the type of document, number of pages, language, destination country, deadline and official fees (ministry, embassy, notary). That's why every request gets a free quote: send us a scan of your document.

Do I need to visit your office?

No. Most requests are handled entirely remotely: you send a scan and we return the document by email or courier. If an original is needed, we explain how to get it to us.

Apostille or legalization: which do I need?

It depends on the country where the document will be used. If that country has joined the Hague Convention, an apostille is enough; otherwise the document must be legalized by the ministry and then the embassy. We check for you.

Which languages do you translate?

More than 15 languages, including French, English, Arabic, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German, Chinese and the national languages: Wolof, Pulaar, Serer, Jola, Mandinka and Soninke.

Are my documents kept confidential?

Yes. Your documents are used only to process your request and are passed only to the authorities or professionals involved, such as a notary or an embassy.

Do you handle documents from other countries?

Yes. Through the ABC Translation international network we also obtain, translate and apostille documents issued abroad for use in Senegal.

How does payment work?

Payment terms are shown on your quote. Work starts once you approve it.
