Frequently asked

The most common questions

Are my translations accepted by the Italian Consulate?

Since 2020, the Consulate of Italy accepts translations produced by registered and certified translators, alongside official translations by the TPJ (sworn public translators). That's why my translations are accepted — the key is that they are apostilled.

Yes: I'm a registered translator with the Colegio de Traductores del Perú (Registration N° 0745). My translations have full validity before the Italian Consulate, Italian comuni, courts and other public bodies in Italy and Peru.

Do I need to apostille the document before translating it?

Yes. The original document must be apostilled before it is translated. If the translation is produced from a document that is not yet apostilled, that translation cannot then be apostilled either.

This is known as the chain of legalizations: the apostille on the original document validates the signature of the official who issued it, and the apostille on the translation validates the translator's signature. Together, they give the document validity abroad.

How long does a certified translation take?

Standard turnaround is 2 to 5 business days, depending on length and complexity. For larger volumes or full case files we agree on a schedule with staggered deliveries.

Do you handle urgent jobs?

Yes, I offer an express service with 24- or 48-hour turnaround, subject to availability and document type. Message me on WhatsApp with the details to confirm timing and cost.

Do you work with clients outside Lima or abroad?

Yes. I serve clients across Peru and abroad, fully remote. Documents are received as scans by email or WhatsApp, and the certified translation is sent signed and stamped to the address you specify: via OLVA or Shalom for Peruvian provinces, and via DHL or FedEx for international deliveries.

How is the price calculated?

Price is calculated per document or per word count, depending on the job type — RENIEC certificates, for example, are usually quoted per document. Turnaround time also factors in: urgent or super-urgent jobs carry a surcharge. Before starting I send you a clear quote — no surprises — with timing and delivery method.

What's the difference between a simple and a certified translation?

A simple translation is informative only, with no official value. A certified translation carries the signature, seal and declaration of a registered translator, and is the only kind accepted by consulates, embassies, universities and government agencies.

Can I send several documents at once?

Yes — it's the norm for citizenship, marriage and degree-recognition cases. I help you review the full list to make sure nothing is missing before we start.
