FAQ

Certified translation questions in Guadalajara

Who can issue a certified translation in Mexico? +
Legally, only sworn translators authorized by the Judicial Branch (Council of the Judiciary) or the Superior Courts of Justice of each state. LINGUAS coordinates with translators authorized by the State of Jalisco Council of the Judiciary and the Supreme Court of Justice of the State of Jalisco.
What is the difference between certified and simple translation? +
Certified translation carries a sworn translator's signature and seal and has official validity before authorities. Simple translation is professional but does not carry a seal — it is used for internal use, document comprehension or when the institution does not require certification.
Is Jalisco certification valid in other states? +
State of Jalisco Council of the Judiciary certification is recognized nationally and internationally in most cases. For some specific procedures in other states, a local sworn translator or apostille may be required.
How long do they take? +
Simple documents (1-3 pages): 1-2 business days. Lengthy documents: 2-4 days. Urgent: we check availability.
Can I request the translation without bringing the original? +
Yes. You can send us a clear photo or scan via WhatsApp or email. For documents with very small text or seals, we need a high-resolution image.
