Frequently asked questions
How much does a certified translation cost in Burundi?
The price depends on the type and length of the document, the language pair, the deadline and any extra steps (notary, apostille, embassy). That is why we prepare a free, personalised quote for each request.
Can I order from abroad?
Yes. Send us your documents by email or through the form; we handle the procedures in Burundi and ship the originals to you by international courier.
What is the difference between an apostille and legalization?
An apostille is a single formality valid between countries that are party to the Hague Convention, including Burundi. Consular legalization, which takes longer, is needed for other countries.
Which languages do you translate?
Kirundi, French and English, plus Swahili, Kinyarwanda, Lingala, Arabic, German, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Chinese. Other languages are available through our network.
Can you obtain a birth certificate or criminal record for me?
Yes, we carry out these procedures at communes, courts and authorities, with a power of attorney if required.
