Preserve original document layout and formatting in the certified deliverable
Flag ambiguous handwriting, damaged originals, or inconsistencies that could affect accuracy or acceptance
Meet delivery windows ranging from standard turnaround to same-day rush requests

Native or near-native fluency in Marshallese and English, with strong command of formal and legal register in both languages
Demonstrated experience translating legal, immigration, civil registry, or court documents
Familiarity with Marshallese civil document conventions and naming practices
Meticulous attention to detail, especially with names, dates, and numbers
Ability to work within defined turnaround windows, including expedited requests
Comfortable signing a formal certification statement and standing behind the accuracy of your work

Nice to have
