The cost of certified translation is usually driven by the document itself, not by a vague industry average. For many standard official documents, flat per-page pricing is the clearest way to estimate the order. TranslateDay standard pricing starts at $23 per page.
What usually affects the total
- The number of pages
- Whether the file is clear, complete and easy to read
- Complex formatting, handwriting or difficult scans
- Whether the order is urgent or includes extra requirements
When flat per-page pricing makes sense
Birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, transcripts, licenses and many other official-use documents are easier to quote per page than per word. That is why certified document translation often feels simpler to order than general marketing or website translation.
How to estimate your order
Count the full pages that need translation, not just the text-heavy sections. If a record has stamps, notes or multiple sides, include those in the file set. Upload the clearest version you have so the quote reflects the actual document rather than a guess.
Best next steps
- Review pricing.
- Upload your documents if you are ready to continue.
- Use the notes field before checkout if a deadline, spelling or extra requirement could affect the order.
