Send scans or clear photographs showing all corners, stamps and small print. For multi-page files, retain page order. If there is an original-language glossary or prior approved translation, provide it for terminology consistency.

Clarify the deliverable

Specify the audience, jurisdiction, file format, deadline and whether a certified translation, sworn translator, notarisation or legalisation has been requested. We can explain available language-service options; the recipient decides what it will accept.
