Frequently asked questions

What is an official translation?

It is a translation signed and sealed by an official translator authorized in Colombia, certifying that it faithfully matches the original document. Mariana Porras is an official English–Spanish translator under Acta No. 287 of 2026.

Which documents should I send?

Clear photos or PDFs of each document, complete and showing every side, including seals, signatures, and apostilles. If the receiving institution gave you instructions, tell us what they are.

Do I need an apostille?

It depends on the institution receiving the document and the destination country. If your procedure requires it, say so when you request your quote and we include it.

How are pages counted?

One page is counted for every 250 words of the original document; any remaining words are added according to their number, never more than one extra page. The quote tool counts the words in your documents and shows the result in your quote.

How long does the translation take?

It depends on the number of documents, their length, and whether you need an apostille. The delivery date appears in your quote.

How do I accept the quote?

From your quote link. Once you accept it, we tell you how to continue, and you can track your translation with your quote number.
