02 / WHY US WHY TEDA-TRANSLATION

Four reasons this reads different from the last agency you looked at.

See the price before you decide.

Every rate is published — certified pages, per-word rates by industry, interpreting by the hour or minute. Nothing sits behind a "contact us for pricing" wall.

A real place, not a routing queue.

teda-translation is one office at 27413 Westown Blvd, Westlake, Ohio — not a brand name over an offshore vendor network. Notarization happens here, in person, during posted hours.

Specific promises, not stat walls.

A named turnaround for every service. A 7-business-day window to catch and correct an error, free. A confidentiality commitment that says what happens to your file, not just that we "take it seriously."

The right expertise for what's actually at stake.

A birth certificate, a contract, and a clinical trial consent form don't carry the same risk if something's mistranslated. Each service page is written — and staffed — for what's actually on the line.

Why teda-translation, 01

07 / FAQ

Common questions.

What does "certified translation" actually mean?

It means your translation ships with a signed certificate of accuracy — a statement, on letterhead, attesting that the translation is complete and accurate to the best of the translator’s ability. Most USCIS filings, courts, and universities require exactly this.

Do you translate documents I can use for USCIS?

Yes — certified translation is our most-ordered service, and it’s formatted to mirror your original document, which is what receiving institutions look for.

How is the price calculated?

By page for certified documents (a page is up to 250 words), and by word for everything else. You’ll see the price before you order — see our full rate table.

How fast can you turn this around?

Certified documents: 24–48 business hours standard, with rush available. Other services are scheduled by length — see each service page for specifics.

Is my document kept confidential?

Yes. A limited number of assigned linguists and staff can access your file, and it’s deleted 90 days after your project is complete unless you ask us to keep it on file. See our privacy and confidentiality commitments on How It Works.
