Certified translation built for title companies and mortgage lenders.

Foreign-buyer real estate transactions concentrate three regulatory regimes in one closing file: Patriot Act customer identification (CIP) verifying the buyer's identity from foreign documents, TRID disclosure of foreign-currency income for borrower qualification, and FIRPTA withholding when the seller is a foreign person. Each regime expects certified English translations of the underlying foreign documents - and a missing or non-compliant translation can stall a closing inside the rate-lock window.

Verdacert sits inside that close. We translate foreign passports and national IDs to satisfy the CIP rule under 31 CFR § 1020.220, foreign tax returns and bank statements to support borrower income documentation under Fannie Mae and FHA guidance, foreign deeds and probate orders for chain-of-title work, and foreign POAs for buyers signing remotely. The certification statement matches what underwriters, title examiners, and FIRPTA withholding agents expect at file review.

On the operations side, we deliver on closing timelines: 48-hour standard turnaround, 24-hour express, and 14-hour rush, measured around the clock including weekends. For documents tied to a specific signing date, we commit to the date when scheduled in advance. Translations are formatted to slot into the closing package - title commitment exhibit numbering, loan-file labeling, or FIRPTA documentation set. For real estate firms running consistent foreign-buyer volume, we set up account billing and a permissioned portal so closing teams and outside counsel see the same status.
