Prices
What a translation costs
Simple prices per page. You see the exact price for your document before you pay, and nothing is charged until you approve it.
Right now, while we launch, machine drafts are free for everyone. The prices below are our standard prices.
Sworn review
Quoted per document
A sworn translator on the Ministry of Justice register checks every line, corrects it and signs it. The certificate carries a serial number and QR code anyone can verify. Usually 1–2 working days.
We quote the price once we have seen the document, and you approve it before any work starts.
Reading a scan or photo
$0.03 per pageRs 10.50
When your file is a scanned PDF or a photo, we first read the text from the picture. This is added once per page. A Word file or a PDF with real text has no reading fee.

How we count a page
- A page is 2,000 letters and spaces, about 300 words in English.
- A short document counts as one page. The smallest charge for any document is $0.15 (Rs 50.00).
- A second language copy is a second translation at the same price.
- Every month, the first $0.15 (Rs 50.00) is free.
Paying
Prices are in Sri Lankan rupees. Where we show dollars, it is for information; the charge is in rupees. You add money to your wallet, and each job is taken from it after you approve the price. Firms can ask for a monthly invoice and a volume rate.
Refunds
- A machine draft is made at once, so it cannot be refunded after it is produced.
- A sworn order can be cancelled for a full refund until the translator starts work. After that, we refund the part not yet done.
- If we cannot complete an order you paid for, we refund the whole charge.

How much does a sworn translation cost in Sri Lanka?
We quote the price once we have seen the document. It depends on the number of pages and the type of document, and you approve it before any work starts.
Do I pay before I see the price?
No. Add your document and choose the languages. We show the price for your document first. Nothing is charged until you approve it.
Is there a charge for the digital seal?
No. The seal and its serial number come with the machine draft. The seal shows the draft was saved as it is; it does not mean a person checked it, and it is not a sworn translation.
Is it free to verify a certificate?
Yes. Anyone can check a serial number or scan the QR code at mytranslates.com/v without an account.
Does a second language cost extra?
Yes. Each language is its own translation and has its own price per page. The reading of a scan is charged only once.
Can my firm get a monthly invoice or a volume rate?
Yes. Law firms and offices that translate every month can pay by monthly invoice and get a lower rate for a set number of pages. Contact us to set it up.
