Certified translation in Kumba

A large trading town in the South-West, Kumba is mainly English-speaking.

An official document presented abroad, or written in a language other than that of the authority receiving it, almost always needs a certified translation. Our sworn translators translate your documents and deliver a signed and stamped translation bound to the original or to a copy.

As Cameroon is officially bilingual, French and English are our main pair, alongside German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese and many other languages. If the translation then has to be legalized or apostilled, we arrange the whole chain for you.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a certified and a sworn translation?

Both terms describe an official translation produced and signed by an authorised translator. The exact wording required depends on the destination country; we check what is expected before we start.

Do you need the original document?

A readable copy is enough for most translations. Some institutions require the translation to be bound to the original or to a certified true copy; your quote will say so.

How long does it take?

A standard one or two-page document is usually translated within a few working days. The exact time depends on language and volume; an express option is available.
