If you’re looking for certified document translation services near you, it can be overwhelming. With so many options out there, how do you know which company to choose? We’ve put together a guide to help you find the best certified document translation services in your area.

What are Certified Document Translation Services?

Certified document translation services refer to the act of translating official documents into another language while guaranteeing their accuracy and authenticity. The guarantee of accuracy comes in the form of a certification statement from the translator or providing company stating that the work was performed accurately and with accreditation.

Do Your Research:

The first step when seeking certified document translations should always involve research, as doing otherwise might lead to entrusting your essential documents to incompetent hands resulting in consequential loss of time, litigation, or resources.

To get started with researching potential companies’ expertise and reliability:

• Check online review websites like Yelp or Google Reviews – these reviews often come from past clients who are satisfied (or dissatisfied) with their experiences.
• Look into industry associations, such as ATA (American Translators Association), NCIHC (National Council on Interpreting Health Care), and IAPTI (International Association of Professional Translators). These kinds of memberships show they belong to a wider community committed to upholding quality service delivery.
• Search forums: Online forums provide excellent platforms where people seek tested people’s opinions relative to service delivery or other products.

Ask for Recommendations:

It’s not uncommon to have loved ones recommend places that provide certified translations around them- especially if they’ve undergone this process themselves before! Strive towards gathering recommendations from reputable sources who have used these said companies’ services prior to you, saving yourself both time and nerves.

Check Certifications & Accreditations:

Ensure that whoever handles your critical documentation is by going through their company or individual credentials. While certifications and accreditation demonstrate that a firm has earned credibility, there are several different kinds of accreditations to look out for when seeking certified document translation services, the most widely recognized being ISO17100:2015 certification. Obtainable from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), ISO17100 demonstrates proof of expertise in providing quality language services.

While checking certifications is vital, it’s not enough. Predominantly, evaluations done on translators vary relative to the region; thus, accredited establishments might prove less knowledgeable relative to what you’d expect them to handle relative to where you reside.

Get Quotes:

A great way to ensure that you’re getting value for your money involves conducting prior research concerning prevailing charges so no one ends up scamming or ripping you off. When requesting quotations, ensure companies list all the following details;

• Service fees – As stated earlier, rates differ depending on location, industry focus, and languages
• Turnover time – Obtaining accurate investments takes patience and effort.
• Specific offerings– It’s helpful if firms listed precisely which files can be translated by them as some turn down specific formats of documents.
• Quality assurance- Nothing is worse than receiving error-filled translations that risk legal work or any other work’s authenticity.

When gathering quotes, lead towards professionalism with service providers exhibiting empathy while answering questions about attaining a translator suitable for your immediate project/s.

In conclusion: Always prioritize selecting established practitioners with reputations guaranteeing quality service delivery and assurances such as indemnity insurance indicating cross-border protection relative to lawsuits originating elsewhere. Remember the four steps when searching for certified document translation services near you. Researching, asking for recommendations, checking certifications and accreditations, and getting quotes from multiple companies can help you confidently choose the best service for your needs.

Thousands of bidders, collectors and ardent Janet fans across the globe, participated in person, on the phone and online to vie for a piece of music history owned by one of the most influential cultural figures of all time (photo: auctioneer Kody Frederick of Julien’s Auctions).

A dazzling collection featuring over 800 illustrious items owned by one of the biggest-selling musical artists in history; five- time Grammy’s® Award winner; Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted singer, songwriter and producer; Academy Award / Golden Globe / Emmy nominated actor, Janet Jackson, including her famous costumes worn in her iconic music videos, record-breaking world tours and acclaimed live television performances, select custom-made pieces from her personal wardrobe, red carpet ensembles worn to prestigious events such as the BET Awards, the Billboard Music Awards, and gala movie premieres, and beloved home furnishings and personal items were sold with a portion of the proceeds to benefit the child advocacy group Compassion International

In addition, fans and collectors were in for a special treat on May 21st at the auction when the pop diva herself made a surprise virtual visit to relay her gratitude to everyone watching and bidding in the auction.

The top selling item of the auction was Janet Jackson’s stunning 2003 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish that sold for $92,075. The luxury vehicle personally owned and driven by Jackson features in the interior premium black leather seating with charcoal gray perforated leather inserts and is equipped with a DOHC 48-valve 6.0 liter 12-cylinder engine that is mated to a six-speed sequential gearbox, producing 460 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft of torque. The Vanquish was capable of reaching speeds of up to 200 miles per hour, and reached 60 miles per hour in 4.9 seconds.

Another top highlight of the event was the appearance of Jackson’s iconic Dexter Wong white long-sleeve puckered shirt and an off-white faux-leather bikini top worn by the Queen of Pop in the 1995 “Scream” music video with her brother Michael Jackson. The iconic costume sold for $31,750, more than thirty times its original estimate of $1,000. Costing $7 million at the time, the music video was listed in the Guinness World Records as the most expensive music video ever made and received 11 MTV Video Music Award nominations that year.

Her signature black and white pinstripe suit jacket and hat worn by Jackson throughout her famous 1989 “Alright” music video sold for $25,400, well over its original estimate of $3,000. The iconic 1930s and 1950s musical style video featured Jackson’s famed choreography and appearances of Hollywood dance legends Cab Calloway, the Nicholas Brothers and Cyd Charisse.

Leading up to her auction and celebration of Jackson’s birthday week, exclusive exhibitions of her collection were presented in conjunction with Jackson’s acclaimed “Together Again” tour of North America and her performances at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida and Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
