Q: What’s the difference between “certified”, “apostilled”, and “notarised”?
A: A certified translation is attested by our translator. Apostille applies an official stamp for use abroad (Hague Convention). A notarised translation is sworn before a notary public. We guide you through what your destination agency requires.
Q: How many languages do you support?
A: Up to 45+ for interpreting, and over 60+ for translation and transcription.
Q: How quickly can I book an interpreter?
A: We operate 24/7. Our admin team will match you with the nearest qualified interpreter—minimising travel time and cost.
Q: What sectors do you specialise in?
A: Medical, legal, public services, oil & gas, manufacturing, tourism, education, finance, construction, agriculture.
I would highly recommend the services of GREC Language services (In-Trans). From initial contact requesting the translation to receiving the documents was a mere two days. Very impressed and reasonable costs too. I would definitely use their services again.
