Certified personal documents are priced per page, from $18.75 (ID, passport, driver's license) to $28.90 (academic transcript) — see below.
Surnames that change by gender. A father "Papadopoulos," a daughter "Papadopoulou," a wife listed under her maiden name — to a US officer these can look like three unrelated people. We reproduce every name exactly as written, follow your passport spelling, and add a translator's note explaining Greek name forms where it helps.
Transliteration that matches your passport. Greek passports use the ELOT 743 standard; older records may say Georgios, Yiorgos, or George. We match your passport so the whole file is consistent.
Older records in Katharevousa. Greek official documents were written in the formal Katharevousa register until 1976, and older texts use polytonic accents. Inheritance, property, church, and genealogy files often contain these records — our translators work with them routinely.
Greece and Cyprus. We translate documents from both, including Cypriot civil records and bilingual Greek–English documents.
Every Greek-language document filed with USCIS needs a complete English translation and a signed translator certification (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)). Notarization is not required.

Multi-page documents receive lower per-page rates. Greece and Cyprus are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention; if your document carries an apostille, we translate it too.
Every certified translation includes: full translation of text, stamps, and annotations; passport-matched names with notes on Greek name forms; the signed Translation Accuracy Certificate; 24-hour delivery for most 1–2 page documents; and the USCIS acceptance guarantee.
"I have used TheWordPoint for several projects over the past 1.5 years for legal document translation. I really can't say enough about their professionalism and service. Their turn-around in terms of project completion is very fast, and if there is any issue at all with the translation they will fix it within a day or two. I even came back to them 1 year later asking them to update an old project of mine with certification stamps on every page (which is not typical) and they did it for me without hesitation for free. Prior to uploading my latest project, I called and left a voicemail because I had a few questions. They called me back within 36 hours. I am a very happy customer and they deserve a great review. A+ guys!"
Greek Americans and Greek Canadians often need their own records accepted in Greece — to register a birth or marriage in a Greek municipal or civil registry, apply for Greek citizenship through Greek descent, settle an inheritance, buy or sell property, or marry in Greece. The same applies to buyers of Greek property, including applicants for Greece's residence-by-investment programme.
We translate:
Before you order: documents for Greece usually need an apostille first, and Greek authorities have their own rules about who may produce or certify official translations — for example, a Greek lawyer, the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs Translation Service, or a Greek consulate. Check with the Greek registry, lawyer, or consulate handling your case which form it accepts; we'll prepare the translation to fit.
