FAQs

Adoption Documents Translation: Common Questions

Does IRCC need my adoption documents translated?+
Yes. For an intercountry adoption, an adopted child’s visa or Canadian citizenship, IRCC require a complete certified English translation of every foreign-language adoption document – the order, certificate and consents. Our signed Certificate of Accuracy meets this.
How much does adoption document translation cost?+
$39.95 per page (1 page = 300 source words). Adoption packets are billed per page, with consistent names and terminology across every document. No surcharge for rarer languages.
How long does it take?+
Standard turnaround is 24 hours for short documents; a full packet is scheduled by page count. A 12-hour expedited service is available on request for a visa or court deadline.
Can you translate the whole adoption packet consistently?+
Yes. We translate the order, certificate, consents, judgment and agency reports together, keeping the child’s and parents’ names and the legal terminology consistent across every document in the file.
Do I need an apostille as well?+
Often the foreign adoption documents must be apostilled or legalised in the country of origin, and a apostille on the translation may be required for onward use abroad. A signed Certificate of Accuracy is the standard. apostille is available from $129.
Are the documents handled sensitively and confidentially?+
Yes. Adoption records are sensitive: we use encrypted upload, restrict access to the assigned translator, and bind translators to confidentiality. Your documents are used only to complete the translation.
Can you translate handwritten consents or older records?+
Yes. We transcribe and translate handwritten consents and older civil records, marking any genuinely illegible passage as [illegible] with a note.
