What does certified translation mean?

A certified translation is a translation accompanied by a signed statement from the translator or translation provider confirming that the translation is a true and accurate translation of the original. For official processes, check the receiving authority for exact requirements.

Can Resinaro translate legal and court documents?

Yes. We handle legal, academic and personal documents. For certain court or government processes, the receiving authority may require additional certification or a sworn translation. We will advise on the correct format when you contact us.

What are typical turnaround times?

Standard turnaround for most documents is 2 to 5 business days. Express options are available for urgent documents. Exact timing depends on length and complexity.

Do you accept scanned copies?

Yes. We accept scanned or photographed documents provided the originals are legible. For certain certificates, we may request certified scans or sight of the original at appointment.

Certified Translation Services

Professional translations between Italian and English for legal, academic and personal documents. Vetted linguists, robust quality assurance and flexible delivery options.

Service options

Resinaro offers two principal pathways so clients can choose the right balance of speed, cost and control:

In-house vetted translators: Translations completed by linguists vetted by Resinaro. These translators pass our qualification checks and quality assurance procedures. This option suits complex legal or academic cases where traceability and quality are essential.
Partner network / outsourced slots: For high volume or urgent requirements we use trusted partner agencies and freelancer networks. Outsourced slots allow faster turnaround while maintaining a documented quality review.

Typical use cases

Legal & official

Birth, marriage and death certificates, court documents, powers of attorney and notarised translations where required by an authority.

Academic & professional

Transcripts, degree certificates, professional qualifications and employer verification documents.

Immigration & consular

Documents for visa applications, AIRE updates and consular submissions requiring a certified translation or translator declaration.

Business & personal

Contracts, letters, estate documents and other personal records where a reliable translation is required.

Quality assurance and credentials

Quality is the priority. Resinaro uses a multi-stage quality assurance workflow for every translation:

Translator assignment based on subject matter expertise and verified credentials.
Initial translation by a professional linguist.
Independent review by a second linguist for accuracy and formatting.
Final sign-off that includes a signed declaration confirming fidelity to the original (used for certified translations).

Translators in our vetted network typically hold recognised qualifications and professional memberships. Resinaro keeps records of qualifications and reviews.
