Other Documents We Translate
Whatever your needs, we provide certified translations for a wide range of documents.
Do medical translations need to be certified?
Often, yes. Immigration authorities, schools, and some healthcare providers request a certified translation. If you tell us where you are submitting the document, we will certify and format it appropriately.
Can you translate handwritten medical notes?
Sometimes. If handwriting is unclear, we will flag it and may include a note in the translation. For best results, upload the clearest scan or photo available.
How fast can you deliver?
Turnaround depends on length and clarity. Express options are available if you are working to a deadline. Upload your document to see the expected delivery options at checkout. If your order is extremely urgent you can talk to the team on the website chat.
Will you keep my medical records?
We retain files only as long as needed to complete the work, then securely purge them from our servers. Access is restricted to authorised staff.
What documents can you translate?
Vaccine certificates, immunisation records, test results, clinic letters, discharge summaries, prescriptions, imaging reports, and other supporting medical documents.
Can I translate my medical records myself?
Most authorities require translations to be prepared by an independent translator or translation company to ensure accuracy.
Do medical translations need to reproduce the layout?
Certified translations must reproduce all information contained in the original document, but they do not necessarily need to replicate the exact visual layout.
How much does a medical record translation cost?
The price depends on the word count and language pair. Certling provides instant online quotes so you can see the cost before placing your order.
