Compare Quotes Properly, Not Just Cheaply
Before you accept any quote, check:
- Is the quote priced per page, per word or as a fixed minimum job?
- Is certified translation included if you need it?
- Is formatting included for stamped, signed or table-heavy documents?
- Is the translator experienced in legal, academic, medical or business material?
- Is proofreading included?
- What is the delivery time?
- Are revisions included if needed?
“We received three quotes within two hours of submitting. The translation quality was exceptional — our legal team were impressed by the precision.”

- Price Factors
What Changes Your Quote
Language Pair
Common language pairs are usually more competitive than rare or specialist combinations
Document Type
A simple certificate is priced differently from a contract, transcript or medical report
Certification Level
Standard, certified, sworn, notarisation support and apostille preparation are not the same service
Formatting and Layout
Tables, seals, handwritten notes, stamps or complex layouts can affect total
Turnaround Time
Urgent jobs often cost more
File Quality
Clear PDFs are easier to price than blurred scans or handwritten documents
Volume
Bundle pricing can reduce overall cost for multiple documents. If you have several files that need translating, ask each provider whether they offer a discount for combined work.

How to Compare Document Translation Quotes the Smart Way
Start with the purpose
Tell each provider exactly what the translation is for: visa/immigration, court, university, business, personal records
Ask what is included
Do not assume certification, formatting, signatures, revisions or hard copies are included
Check specialist fit
For legal, medical, academic and technical documents, the cheapest quote is rarely the best value
Compare turnaround on the same basis
A 24-hour quote and a 5-day quote are not directly comparable
Look at the total project cost
A low first-page price can become expensive if extras are added later
Choose confidence, not guesswork
With Trusted Linguist, you can review the service process first, then compare with more clarity
