Certified translation is priced per page. Here is exactly how a word count turns into a page count, so the number on your quote never surprises you.
The short version
Each page of your file is $12.50, $15 or $18.75, set by your language pair, while it holds up to 350 words. A file that averages more than that is priced by the word instead, $0.05 to $0.075 a word.
A page is one page of your file, and it can hold up to 350 words. Most documents sit well under that: certificates, IDs, diplomas and letters. A dense file, such as a court judgment or a contract, can hold far more, and then the words are what we translate, so the price follows the words. Our system counts your file in your browser, decides which of the two applies and shows you the method on the quote, so you never choose or calculate anything. The rule is published here in full, so it is never a point of dispute once your order is underway.
Worked example
These figures are computed live by the same function the quote page runs — nothing here is typed by hand. Past 350 words a page, a file is priced by the word. The examples use level 1, a common language with English; other languages are priced the same way at their own level.
Prices shown are for certified translation only. Currency conversion, when you add it, is calculated on top of this base price.
What gets counted
Everything visible on the page counts toward the word total — not just paragraphs of prose. That includes:
If a document contains a section you don't need translated — an unrelated page stapled to the back, an internal file number you'd rather not disclose — redact it before you upload. Anything left visible is treated as part of the document and counted.
Scanned documents
The per-word check above only works when a file has a text layer we can read directly — a Word document, or a PDF that was generated from digital text. A photographed or scanned document is usually just an image: there is no text underneath for the counter to read.
We do not run OCR to guess a price from a scan. Instead, a scanned document is priced by its physical page count and confirmed by a person before your quote is finalized. This is the honest way to price something a computer genuinely cannot count — and it is how most civil documents in an immigration filing arrive.
Getting a scan that counts as text
If the estimate changes
The count you see in your browser while uploading is an estimate. For most digital documents it matches the final count exactly. For low-confidence files — a scan, a blurry photo, a file our system can't parse — a person checks the page count by hand before translation begins.
If that hand review changes your total, you will always be told before the change is applied to your order. We never revise a price silently after you've paid.
