The Smart Certified Translation Hack from Colombia
Here's the hack nobody tells you: Colombian certified translations cost from COP $15,000 per page (you see the exact price when you upload), are valid in 100+ Hague Convention countries once apostilled, and can be delivered online in 24 hours. Elsewhere, published per-page prices run about USD 25 in the USA, €27 to €65 for the first page in Spain, and £15.59 to £30 in the UK. You do the math.

Wait, Is This Even Legal?
Yes — and here's why. Colombia is a party to the Hague Convention of 1961, an international treaty that standardizes the process of authenticating documents for use abroad. Once a notary acknowledges the translator's signature and the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs apostilles the translation, you can submit it in over 100 countries.
Party to the Hague Convention Since 2001
Colombia has been a party to the Hague Convention since January 2001. This means Colombian apostilles are accepted in the USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Spain, and 100+ other countries.
Official Translators in Colombia
Our translator team is certified as official translators in Colombia by the institutions the law authorizes. This is what makes the translation legally valid for immigration, academic, and legal purposes. See a real example of the document.
Optional: Hague Apostille
The apostille is a separate certificate issued by the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for international use: it validates the signature of the notary who acknowledges the signature of whoever translated it. If your destination country requires it, the signature of whoever translated it is first acknowledged before a notary, and then you can request the apostille yourself online through the Ministry — once apostilled, your translation is ready to submit to any Hague Convention country.

BancolombiaFrequently Asked Questions
Is this really legal? Will USCIS/IRCC/UKVI accept this?
Yes. Colombia is a party to the Hague Convention, so apostilled Colombian translations are accepted by immigration agencies in the USA (USCIS), Canada (IRCC), UK (UKVI), Australia (Home Affairs), and 100+ other countries. Our translator team is certified as official translators in Colombia by the institutions the law authorizes. The apostille is issued by Colombia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Do I need to be in Colombia to use this service?
No. The entire process is online. You upload your document from anywhere in the world, pay online, and download the certified translation when it's ready. No need to visit an office or mail physical documents.
What languages do you support?
We specialize in Spanish ↔ English translations (including regional variants: es-CO, es-ES, en-US, en-GB, en-AU, en-CA). This covers the vast majority of immigration and academic translation needs.
How do I get the apostille?
The apostille is a separate process: a notary first acknowledges the translator's signature, then you request the apostille online from the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. See our step-by-step apostille guide for instructions on how to do it yourself.
What if my document is not originally from Colombia?
That's fine. The certified translation itself is a Colombian document (issued by one of our official translators in Colombia). Once a notary acknowledges the translator's signature and the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs apostilles the translation, it can be submitted in Hague Convention countries, regardless of where the original document came from.
How long does it really take?
Translations are delivered in 24 hours from payment confirmation; your quote shows the exact time. The apostille has no fixed timeline: it usually takes about 2 business days and can take up to 7.
