Pricing
How Much Does a Death Certificate Translation Cost?
A certified translation of a death certificate costs $24.95 per page, where one page is up to 250 words of the source document. A typical death certificate runs 1 to 2 pages, so most orders come to $24.95 to $49.90. That price is the whole price. The signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy is included, there is no separate certification fee, and through 31 December 2026 the upgrade to Premium 1 to 2 business days delivery is applied at the Certified price as well. The document is measured before payment, so the exact figure is on screen before anything is charged.

Requirements
What the $24.95 page price includes
- The full translation of every page, at $24.95 per page of up to 250 words.
- The signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. There is no separate certification fee and never has been.
- Stamps, seals, signatures, and reference codes described in bracketed form at their position in the translation, so the layout of the original can be followed line by line.
- The original page structure preserved, so a reviewer can hold the translation beside the source document and match them.
- Free upgrade to Premium 1 to 2 business days delivery at the Certified price, applied at checkout through 31 December 2026.
- Digital delivery as a PDF to your account, at no charge, as many times as you need to download it.
- The only optional extra is a posted paper copy, at $15.00. Nothing else is added at checkout.
Common reasons translations get rejected
- Price follows the word count of the source document, not the number of sheets of paper, and one page is 250 words of source text.
- A page that holds fewer than 250 words is still billed as one page, so a short certificate and a full page cost the same.
- Most death certificates are one page of up to 250 source words; certificates with a detailed medical cause of death section or attached registry transcriptions can reach two.
- A document with heavy stamps and marginal annotations carries more text than it looks like it does, which is the usual reason an order comes in at two pages rather than one.
- The language does not change the price. Every pair we staff is billed at the same rate.

Questions
Common questions
- Is there an extra charge to have the translation certified?
- No. The certified rate of $24.95 per page includes the signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy. Certification is not a separate line item on the order and it is not added at checkout.
- Is there a rush fee?
- Premium delivery normally costs more than the Certified rate. Through 31 December 2026 the upgrade to Premium 1 to 2 business days delivery is applied automatically at the Certified price, so a faster order costs the same as a standard certified one.
- What counts as one page?
- One page is up to 250 words of the source document. Word count is what is billed, not the number of physical sheets, and a page holding fewer than 250 words is billed as a single page.
- How much will a death certificate come to?
- A typical death certificate runs 1 to 2 pages, so most orders come to $24.95 to $49.90. The exact figure is shown before payment. The document is measured first, the full price appears on screen, and nothing is charged until the order is confirmed.
- Do I pay before I know the price?
- No. Upload the document, the system measures it, and the full price is shown before any payment step. There is no estimate that changes later.
- Is anything added after I pay?
- No. The price shown at checkout is the price charged. The only optional extra in the whole service is a posted paper copy at $15.00, which is chosen deliberately and never added on its own.
