Revisions
What are revisions?
Revisions are required changes to the translated text. With certified translations being literal, word-for-word translations of the source-language text, only the information contained in the source material can be included and nothing else.
The following are examples that help to explain what is and isn’t defined as a required revision:
A required revision: A handwritten document where an “o” is confused with an “a” in the translation.
Not a required revision: Your birth certificate reads “Jhon” but the correct spelling of your name is “John”. This is not a required revision as this must be corrected in the source document and not in the translation.
How can I request a revision?
Once your translations have been delivered, you’ll have the option to request a revision to your translations if required.
Do I have to pay for revisions?
Never. They are included in your order and there is no limit to the number of revisions that can be requested.
