Start with the document type, source and target languages, receiving authority and deadline. Odette confirms the scope, fee and timing before you commit. Send only the information needed for your request.
02 / Translate & check
Names, dates, numbers, terminology and notes are checked against the source. Bring any required spellings or format instructions into the conversation before the translation is finalized.
03 / Prepare for submission

Questions about this document
Does this include handling inheritance or estate proceedings?
No. This service concerns translation. The responsible lawyer or authority can explain which records the estate procedure requires.
How much will this translation cost, and how long will it take?
The fee and timing depend on the language pair, number of pages, legibility, format and deadline. Email Odette with those details for a quote; no fixed price or turnaround is assumed for every document.
Will a sworn translation be accepted everywhere?
Requirements vary by country, authority and procedure. Share the recipient’s instructions before ordering. Lebanese sworn status does not automatically replace a locally required certification, notarization or legalization.
