Certified Chinese (Traditional) contract translation for Apostille.

Contracts issued by Chinese (Traditional)-speaking jurisdictions are among the most-translated civil documents in US apostille filings. Commercial and personal contract translations — employment, real estate, services — for US-based legal proceedings and immigration evidence.

Traditional Chinese is the writing system used in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau for civil status records, household registration (戶籍謄本), court documents, and academic transcripts. Verdacert translates Taiwanese household certificates, Hong Kong birth and marriage records, and academic credentials — with reviewers calibrated to the documentary conventions of each jurisdiction. Verdacert's reviewer pool covers Taiwanese Mandarin (Guoyu), Hong Kong Traditional Chinese, Macau Traditional Chinese, with country-specific document conventions from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau.

Taiwanese household certificates (戶籍謄本) record an entire household's relationships and are translated as a single integrated document. Hong Kong civil documents are commonly bilingual (Traditional Chinese + English); the certified translation reconciles both source versions. Names are transcribed using the romanization on the original document (Wade-Giles, Yale, or the holder's preferred spelling) — Verdacert respects existing spellings from prior immigration paperwork. Taiwanese documents may use the Republic of China (Minguo) calendar (year 1 = 1912); Verdacert converts to Gregorian for US filings and retains the original date in parentheses.

Verdacert coordinates apostille filing through the relevant US Secretary of State for documents being used abroad. Pricing includes our service fee plus state pass-through fees (which vary by state).

For contract translations specifically, our reviewers focus on idiomatic legal expressions and currency and unit conversions. The AI draft is calibrated to surface uncertainty rather than guess, so the reviewer always knows where to spend their attention.

Every translation we deliver includes a signed certification statement, a faithful transcription of every field on the source, descriptions of all seals and stamps, and explicit [illegible] markers anywhere the source is unreadable rather than a guess. The reviewer signs the certification under their own name.
