## Certified translation - full translation, per page

USCIS / court / university-acceptance guarantee. Includes signed
certification statement, Ed25519-signed JWS receipt, and public
verification URL.

| Tier     | Price / page | SLA      |
|----------|--------------|----------|
| Standard | $23.00 | 48 h |
| Express | $28.00 | 24 h |
| Rush | $69.00 | 14 h |

SLA semantics: measured wall-clock from upload. If we miss the tier
you paid for, we make it right per the refund policy
(https://www.verdacert.com/legal/refund-policy): a free upgrade to the next-faster
tier, a credit equal to the difference between tiers, or a refund of
the speed premium.

## Certified translation - review-and-certify, per page

You (or your AI agent) provide a draft; a Verdacert reviewer corrects
and certifies it under our seal. Same legal acceptance as full
translation, roughly half the price.

| Tier     | Price / page | SLA      |
|----------|--------------|----------|
| Standard | $11.95 | 48 h |
| Express | $22.95 | 24 h |
| Rush | $44.95 | 14 h |

## Surcharges

### Complex document types - +$10.00 / page

Specialized terminology requires specialized reviewers. The complete
list of complex types:

- Court documents
- Contracts
- Affidavits
- Medical records
- Tax documents
- Powers of attorney
- Adoption papers
- Business licenses
- Marriage nullity decrees
- Nikah marriage contracts
- Course description packets
- Professional licenses

- Articles of incorporation
- Arrest warrants
- Medical forensic reports
- Press articles

The review-and-certify product line halves this surcharge.

### Specialty languages - ×1.5 rate, ×1.25 SLA

Smaller reviewer pools cost more and take longer. Multipliers apply
to every speed tier:

| Tier     | Specialty SLA |
|----------|---------------|
| Standard | 60 h |
| Express | 30 h |
| Rush | 18 h |

Specialty languages: Pashto (ps), Dari (prs), Tigrinya (ti), Amharic (am), Kurdish (ku), Somali (so), Azerbaijani (az), Oromo (om), Tajik (tg), Uzbek (uz), Hausa (ha).
