Certified translation, apostille and interpreting for all of New Zealand
We translate, certify and legalise your documents for Immigration New Zealand, courts, universities and authorities overseas, in more than 50 languages. Send scans from anywhere in the country and receive a fixed quote.
What we do
Six services that often work together. A degree may need a certified copy, an apostille and a translation before a foreign employer accepts it. We handle the whole chain.
Certified translation
Signed and stamped translations of personal, academic, legal and business documents, ready for Immigration New Zealand, universities, courts and government agencies.
Apostille & authentication
We arrange apostilles for New Zealand documents going overseas, including the notarisation that private documents need first.
Embassy & consulate legalisation
Legalisation for countries outside the Apostille Convention, handled through the embassies and consulates in Wellington and Auckland.
Notary services
Certified true copies, powers of attorney, statutory declarations and affidavits for use overseas, arranged with a New Zealand notary public.
Document retrieval
We obtain official records on your behalf, from New Zealand registries and from overseas authorities through our international network.
Interpreting
Professional interpreters on site, by video or by phone, for legal, medical, business and community settings across New Zealand.

Questions and answers
How much does a certified translation cost?
Prices depend on the language pair, the length and layout of the document, the type of certification and how fast you need it. Send us a scan and we will reply with a fixed price, usually the same working day. The quote is free and there is no obligation.
Do I need to visit an office?
No. Our New Zealand service is fully remote. You send scans or photos, we deliver certified PDFs by email and, when originals are needed, send them by tracked courier. Only notarised signatures require you to attend a notary in person, and we book that close to you.
Are your translations accepted by Immigration New Zealand?
INZ requires translations to be done by an independent, reputable translator rather than by the applicant or their family. Our certified translations meet that requirement and include the translator's details and certificate.
How do I send you my documents?
Attach them to the quote form on this site or email them to info@abc-offices.com. Clear photos taken with a phone are fine, as long as every corner and stamp is readable.
How quickly can you deliver?
Standard personal documents are usually ready within 1 to 3 working days. Apostilles and embassy legalisation depend on the government office or embassy involved; we give a realistic timeline with every quote.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. Documents are only seen by the people working on your order, translators are bound by confidentiality, and we delete files when they are no longer needed. We can sign a non-disclosure agreement for business clients.
Can you help with documents from other countries?
Yes. ABC Translation has offices and partners in several countries, so we can retrieve, apostille or legalise documents abroad without you having to travel.
