Sworn translation prices in Abidjan
12,000 FCFA per page for common languages, 15,000 FCFA per page for rare languages, up to 18,000 FCFA per page for technical or legal documents, and 60,000 FCFA for the academic pack (degree, transcript and birth certificate, about 5 pages). The quote is free, firm, and reaches you in 15 to 20 minutes. Delivery within 72 hours, or 24 hours with the rush option.
Prices are public, deliberately: in this trade, a hidden rate ends up being negotiated against whoever knows the market least. Price depends on the language and the nature of the document, never on your district, your apparent urgency or the size of your file. The quote is produced after counting your actual pages, and the figure we state is the figure you pay.

Frequently asked questions
Why publish prices when most providers do not?
Because a hidden price is one that gets negotiated at the expense of whoever knows the market least. Our rates are public and firm. You know what to expect before you even contact us.
What pushes a document into the technical rate?
Legal or technical density, not length. Court decisions, contracts, articles of association and specialist reports use terminology where each term carries consequences. The applicable rate is quoted after reading the actual document.
How do you count pages?
On the real document, after we receive your files. One page means one page of the original. An unusually dense transcript packing two semesters onto one sheet may count as two, and if so, we say it in the quote, before you pay, never after.
What does the 24-hour rush cost?
The surcharge depends on volume and language, and it is quoted before we start, never discovered on the invoice. Send your documents and your deadline on WhatsApp for an exact figure.
Is there a discount for larger volumes?
Yes, beyond three similar documents or for a complete family file. Send the whole list rather than placing successive orders: it costs less and keeps name spellings identical across every document.
A firm price, not a range
Send your documents on WhatsApp. We count the pages, apply the list above, and give you a final figure and a deadline.
