Prepare the actual files
Attach every page you want reviewed, including reverse sides and connected sheets. A page count alone does not show text density or difficult handwriting. Editable files can be helpful for tables and layouts, while the issued copy provides the reference for official records.
Include the recipient's instructions
State whether the translation is for USCIS, an academic institution, a business or another recipient. Share any specific format or certification instruction. Do not assume a service chosen for one institution automatically meets another institution's requirements.
Review scope before approving
Check which files and languages are included, the delivery format, quoted amount and agreed timing. If you add a page or change a deadline, ask for the scope to be reconfirmed. Submitting files for a quote does not by itself authorize the translation to begin.
Send the available files and receive a clear proposal with price, timing, and delivery details before you decide.
