Frequently asked questions
How much does a certified translation or an apostille cost?
It depends on the language, the length of the document, the stamps it needs and the deadline. That's why every quote is tailored: send us the document and we reply with a fixed price, usually the same business day.
Do I need to visit an office?
No. Almost everything is done by email and courier. You only need to be present to sign before a notary (for example, a power of attorney), and we go with you.
Does my document need an apostille or consular legalization?
If both the issuing country and the country where it will be used are party to the Hague Convention, an apostille is enough. If either isn't, consular legalization is used. Check your country's page or write to us.
Are translations made abroad valid in Panama?
Many Panamanian institutions require the Spanish translation to be made by an authorized public translator in Panama. If you already have a translation from abroad, we review it and tell you whether it will be accepted.
How long does the whole process take?
A certificate translation, 1 to 2 business days. A Panamanian apostille, a few days depending on the document. An embassy legalization, days to weeks. We always give you the timeline before starting.
