Match the translation to its receiving organization
Start with your recipient’s instructions. Certification, notarization, credential evaluation, and government authentication are different things; requesting a certified translation does not automatically provide all of them.
Written translation, not another professional service
These pages describe written document translation. They do not offer legal representation, medical advice, live court interpreting, grade conversion, or government approval.
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 should I upload?
- Include complete, readable records, every text-bearing side, and relevant recipient instructions.
- Does certification guarantee official 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.
