Preserve original document layout and formatting in the certified translation
Flag discrepancies, ambiguities, or errors found in source documents
Meet delivery deadlines ranging from standard to rush turnaround windows

What we're looking for

Native or near-native fluency in Khmer and strong command of professional/legal English
Demonstrated experience translating legal, civil, or immigration documents
Familiarity with Cambodian civil registry documents, court records, and academic credentialing conventions
Strong attention to detail, particularly with proper nouns, transliteration, and numerical data
Ability to work independently and meet firm deadlines
Comfortable signing formal certification statements and being named as the responsible reviewer on delivered documents

Nice to have

Experience with Cambodian regional dialects or provincial document variants
