Alphabet’s interaction with customers is based on modern technologies and principles, which provide maximum convenience to customers.

 

What legal documents do we work with?

When dealing with immigration issues and other tasks in government and official bodies, individuals most often require translation of such legal documents as birth, marriage, and divorce certificates. A wide range of commercial, government, and public organizations, when conducting international activities, need to conclude contracts and lease agreements, accompany business partnerships, open new companies, file patent applications and obtain licenses, file lawsuits, and conduct court cases. Moreover, with the expansion of international cooperation, and the emergence of new national laws, regulators, and requirements, the volume of these documents is constantly growing both in total and the list.

Why should legal translation be entrusted to specialized translators?

Because the cost of a mistake is very high. It’s not even that a small error in the translation of a legal document will raise questions and reduce the credibility of the applicant. Due to most errors, the official procedure is stopped, and very often it has to be resumed not from the stop point, but from the starting point. Moreover, the rules of many official bodies have established that resumption is possible only after a long pause, for example, at 12 months or several years. Accordingly, you should order translation of legal documents only from experienced professionals specializing in this field. Only in this case will all the formalities and deadlines of official procedures be observed.

It is equally important for customers to respect the confidentiality of the information provided. Alphabet guarantees complete confidentiality, our employees sign an NDA when applying for a job. The issues of familiarization with our NDA and supplementing it with other important conditions for the client can be quickly resolved with the Alphabet consultant operator.

 

Certified legal translation and apostille

First of all, the translation of legal information into another language implies the correct transmission of both the general meaning of the document and its details. Due to this, the translator is required not only to have perfect knowledge of the source and target languages but also to understand the legal systems of certain countries, their similarities and differences.

In this area, in a relatively small number of cases, interpretative translation is sufficient. In this case, the result is transmitted to the customer in a convenient editable format agreed upon when applying. Although it is usually a question of submitting documents to an official body, a certified legal translation is required, in which the original is translated word for word, and the result is accompanied by a certificate of accuracy (Alphabet letterhead, wet seals, and signatures). It is thanks to the presence of this certificate that the officials trust the translation and it will be accepted, for example, at USCIS.

The rules established by some official institutions may specify the need to submit a legal translation certified not only by the signatures and seals of the translator but also by a notary. That is, in this case, the notary, as a specially authorized person by the state, confirms the identity and documents of the translator. As a rule, this is necessary in cases where foreign documents are required to be presented in the United States. Alphabet is ready to provide, as part of a single comprehensive service, a notarized legal translation suitable for submission to official authorities in any of the 50 states.

If it is necessary to use American documents outside the United States, then confirmation of the validity of this document abroad will be required – the so-called legalization or apostille. In general, the specific method of certification depends on the national legislation of the country of presentation, but the task is significantly simplified due to the signing of the Hague Convention by the member-states. It states that the countries mutually recognize the translations of national official documents due to simplified legalization by affixing an apostille. In countries that have not joined the Hague Convention, documents must be legalized, according to a procedure that consists of several stages, starting with certification at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the country of issue of the document and ending with the consulate of the country in which the document is to be used. In any case, Alphabet is ready to provide certified translation services of legal documents, which, thanks to appropriate registration (apostille, legalization), can be used in most developed countries of the world.

At Alphabet, the work is always performed by certified native-speaking translators with a specialization and work experience of at least 3-5 years. They live in many countries of the world, thanks to which they know the language and other local subtleties, for example, the specifics of processing documents for passing national official procedures.

We work with any readable documents issued by official bodies (state, courts, local authorities), commercial, educational, and public organizations created by the authors for publication or private use. The client shall attach the necessary materials to the application in electronic form. In most cases, we use text or graphic (for scanned documents) formats DOX, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, JPEG, JPG, RTF, ODT, and PDF. If it is more convenient for you to use a different format, coordinate this issue with our consultant operator.

All Alphabet employees sign an NDA when they are hired and are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of information provided by customers.
