What is normally included in the scope of a certified translation job?
Usually full translation of every page, description of seals and signatures, the certification statement with the practitioner's stamp, and the delivered file. Printed copies, courier, and any onward legalisation are separate items.
In-depth Answer
Agreeing scope up front is the single best way to avoid mismatched expectations.
A standard certified translation means rendering all the text in the documents supplied, including descriptions of seals and signatures, attaching the practitioner's certification, and delivering a signed file.
What is typically not included, and should be agreed separately: printing and couriering hard copies domestically or overseas; onward certification by other bodies such as the Department of Consular Affairs or an embassy, each with its own steps and timeframes; obtaining source documents or registry extracts on the client's behalf; and later amendments requested by the receiving body.
Ask for a written quotation stating page count, language direction, delivery format, deadline, and the revision terms before work starts.
