What to prepare for Legal translation
A certified translation records what a foreign-language legal document says. It is not legal representation, an opinion on enforceability, or a replacement for advice from your attorney.
- Specify whether the document is for filing, attorney review, or an official transaction.
- Include attachments and referenced schedules rather than isolated signature pages.
- Confirm whether the recipient needs certification, a declaration, or a particular delivery format.
Chinese - Simplified document considerations
Chinese documents may contain different script forms, bilingual name fields, and official seals that require context from the full page.
- Confirm the romanized name used on your passport or application.
- Specify the script or document origin if the receiving institution requests it.
- Provide the complete document, including seals and bilingual fields.
Examples of documents
Translate only the records your recipient needs. Certification is a statement about the translation, not about the validity of the source document.
- Contracts
- Divorce records
- Powers of attorney
Choose certification and layout options
Certified Translation includes certification. Standard Translation is a separate service. Translation + DTP includes translation with layout work; use it when preserving document structure matters.
Notarization and apostilles are not included in the current checkout. Metro does not issue government apostilles. If a recipient asks for additional formalities, contact (313) 782-3366 before ordering.
How the online order works
Upload your source documents, select the available language direction and service, and provide the receiving instructions. Metro assesses the files and prepares a quote. Review the quote before you authorize payment.
If details need review, your files stay with Metro; an upload is not a promise of immediate completion. Released translations are accessed through a secure completion link, not a public document page or an email attachment.
Frequently asked questions
- Can I order from any U.S. state?
- Yes. Metro’s online ordering service is available nationwide. These service-area pages do not imply a local branch or a required in-person visit.
- What helps with Chinese - Simplified document preparation?
- Confirm the romanized name used on your passport or application. Specify the script or document origin if the receiving institution requests it. Provide the complete document, including seals and bilingual fields.
- Does certification guarantee Legal acceptance?
- No. Follow the receiving organization’s document, translator, and format requirements. Certification does not authenticate the source record or guarantee a legal or administrative result.
- Are repeated documents charged more than once?
- Repeated copies of the same document are counted once. Each unique document has its own minimum; the minimum is not applied separately to every page. Your quote is assessed through the existing order workflow.
- Does checkout include notarization or an apostille?
- No. Those are separate formalities and are not included in the current translation checkout. Contact Metro about the receiving organization’s instructions before ordering.
