Apostilles are essential for making your documents legally recognized in other countries. Issued under the Hague Apostille Convention, an apostille verifies the authenticity of a document, but it does not translate it. That’s why certified translations are often required alongside apostilled documents, so foreign authorities can clearly read and accept them. Without a proper translation, even valid apostilled documents may be delayed or rejected.
An apostille confirms authenticity, while a certified translation ensures the content is accurate in another language. Common documents that will require apostille translation include birth and marriage certificates, diplomas and transcripts, background checks, and legal or business records, especially for immigration, studying abroad, or international legal use. Priority Translate employs professional human translators that specialize in each of these documents.
Getting this right matters a lot. Without a certified apostille translation, you risk delays, rejections, or missed deadlines. With accurate, professionally prepared translations, your documents are far more likely to be accepted the first time while saving you time, stress, and additional costs.

Gael, a recent graduate from São Paulo, Brazil, had been accepted to a master’s program in the United States. To complete his visa application and enrollment, he needed certified translations of his diploma, transcripts, and birth certificate, all accompanied by an apostille to ensure official acceptance by U.S. authorities. With tight deadlines and complex requirements, João turned to Priority Translate for help.
After a 10 minute submission and only a 24 hour wait, he received professional, apostille-certified translations of all his documents, formatted and ready for submission. Gael took his translated documents with him to the US and was able to meet every necessary requirement. The U.S. embassy and his university accepted the translations immediately, allowing him to finalize his visa and enrollment smoothly.
“Priority Translate made a stressful process that I knew nothing about feel completely manageable,” said Gael: “I wouldn’t have made it to the US on time, and potentially at all, without it.”
