Frequently asked questions
How much does a certified translation or legalization cost?
Prices depend on the document, the languages, the certification needed and how quickly you need it. Send us a scan or photo through the quote form and we reply with a fixed price — usually within one working day.
Do you serve clients outside Freetown?
Yes. We work with clients in every district of Sierra Leone. Most documents can be handled by email, with originals sent and returned by courier, and our interpreters travel upcountry.
I live abroad. Can you help with documents from Sierra Leone?
Yes. Diaspora clients are a large part of our work: we retrieve, translate, certify and legalize Sierra Leonean documents and send them to you anywhere in the world.
Which languages do you work with?
English, Krio, Temne, Mende, Limba, Kono and the other languages of Sierra Leone, as well as French, Arabic, Chinese, Portuguese, Spanish, German and many more through our international network.
Can a Sierra Leonean document be apostilled?
Sierra Leone is currently not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so Sierra Leonean documents go through Ministry of Foreign Affairs authentication and embassy legalization instead. We handle the full chain for you.
