Every document type has its own flat rate, published here inclusive of tax. The figure that binds us, though, is the one on your quote: drawn up after your document has been examined, before any translation begins, with no charge appearing later.

What counts
What can make the amount vary
The actual volume
A one-page transcript and a twelve-page booklet cannot carry the same price. That is precisely why some families are billed per page.How dense the document is
A judgment with long reasoning takes more work than a ten-line attestation, page count being equal.How many certified copies you need
The first is included. Each additional copy carries a fixed supplement, stated on the quote.Urgency, if you ask for it
Write to us on WhatsApp with your deadline. An urgent file moves to the front of the queue; the turnaround is confirmed once we have seen the document, before any payment.
File packs
A file rarely contains a single document. Three combinations are offered as packs, priced below the sum of the individual flat rates.
Visa Pack
Birth certificate + police clearance certificate + work certificate
27 000 FCFAinstead of 30 000 FCFA document by document
Study Pack
Diploma + academic transcript (1 page)
21 000 FCFAinstead of 24 000 FCFA document by document
Immigration Pack
Five documents from your file, among those that genuinely need translating: civil-status records, police certificate, diploma, transcript. Final list confirmed on the quote.
50 000 FCFAinstead of 54 000 FCFA document by document
| Extra page beyond the flat rate | 10 000 FCFA |
| Extra certified copy | 3 000 FCFA |
A word on the Immigration Pack: it only covers documents that genuinely need translating. For a Canadian application, for instance, IRCC accepts documents written in English or French with no translation at all. We tell you, document by document, what goes into the pack before you get a quote.

When and how you pay
After you agree to the quote, never before: cash at the office, mobile money or bank transfer. The translation starts once payment is confirmed. The flat rate already covers the second reading, the signed and stamped statement on each page and the PDF — certification is never an extra.
A flat rate rather than a price per word means you know the amount before the work starts, stamps and layout included. The guide to what an official translation costs sets out what goes into a price, here and elsewhere.
What foreign bodies ask for
WES, ECE, ICAS, UK ENIC, IRCC require a complete translation with a signed and stamped statement of accuracy — exactly the format we deliver.
Elsewhere the answer is no, and we say so before you pay: Campus France Cameroun, uni-assist, Homologación. the detail, body by body, with sources.
