Awesome customer service and responsible translation. I ordered a translation service a few times here. The customer service team responds to all my questions so quickly and helps me a lot. Also, the translation is accurate and timely. When I googled translation services, so many different companies popped up, just like spam. I tried one company and no one replied to my questions. But Motaword saved me!
Fast certified translation with great support. I submitted a document that needed urgent translation to multiple providers, but Motaword was the only one that could complete it in time, and their support was very responsive and helpful. The USCIS office accepted the certified translation. I will be a customer again.
The timelines and support is awesome! It's a great company with professionals who care about customers. They are in touch 24/7. My documents were ready the next day, and in a couple of hours, they had completed all the edits I asked them to make. It was a truly amazing experience!
