What we translate

The documents people most often need translated

Birth certificates

Issued by Municipal Corporations, Nagar Palikas and Gram Panchayats, and the format changes with the state and the decade. Older certificates are often partly handwritten — we work from a clear photo of exactly what you have.

Board marksheets and degrees

Class 10 and Class 12 marksheets from CBSE and the state boards, plus degree certificates and transcripts. Subject tables are translated in full, row by row, with the marks shown exactly as printed and never converted.

Driving licences

State RTO licences are translated front and back — the order page sets a licence to two pages automatically. If your licence card is already printed in English, you may not need a translation at all: see documents already partly in English. Converting your licence here? Start with our state-by-state guide.

Pricing

The full price on screen before you order

Translation is $39.99 per page, into English, delivered digitally. Add NAATI certification for $59.99 per page when the receiving authority asks for it: a NAATI-certified translator prepares your document, and it carries their certification statement, NAATI stamp and credential number. Where the translator uses NAATI’s digital stamp, it carries a QR code you can scan to check the credential. Our NAATI translation page has the detail.

Photograph and upload

Photograph your document with your phone, choose your options with the running total on screen, and pay online. Nothing is printed or posted.

Delivered by email

Your finished translation arrives by email. Normal delivery is within 3 days and included in the price; Urgent and ASAP are on the order page, ASAP where a translator for your language is available. We do not deliver on Sundays: a delivery that would fall on a Sunday arrives on the Monday. The windows are estimates, so if you have a fixed deadline, tell us before you order.

Complimentary re-issue

If your translation ever needs a correction or a fresh copy, we re-issue it with our compliments. Your order number finds it, even years later.

The craft

Details a careful translation gets right

These are the points where Hindi documents differ from English ones, and where a careless translation causes questions later. Our house standard sets out how each of them is handled.

Spelling follows your passport

Devanagari names romanise more than one way — the same name can be written Sharma or Sarma, Mohan or Mohun. We match the spelling in your passport, so every document tells one story.

Stamps and annotations too

Many Indian documents are already partly in English, but the rubber stamps, seals and margin notes are in Hindi. We translate those as well, so the finished document reads entirely in English. For other Indian languages, see Gujarati to English translation and Malayalam to English translation.

Handwriting handled honestly

Where an older record is handwritten, we render what is legible and mark what is not — the reader sees exactly how much of the original can be read.
