How much does it cost?

A CV is priced by word: $20 covers the first 250-word page and each additional word adds $0.08, with no rounding up to full pages. Panama's 7% ITBMS tax is added on top. A one-page CV comes to $21.40 with tax, and two- or three-page profiles of 500 to 750 words land between $42.80 and $64.20. For German ↔ Spanish, the page costs $25 and each additional word $0.10.

How long does it take?

Standard delivery takes up to 3 business days. Express delivers in 1 business day (+50%), and Same-day (+100%) applies only when you pay before 11:00 a.m. and a translator is available. These timelines apply to documents of up to 10 pages (2,500 words); for longer documents we prepare a special volume price and confirm the timeline on WhatsApp. You see the exact timeline in your quote before paying.

Do you need an apostille before or after the translation?

A CV is a personal document and does not need an apostille; a translation by a TPA registered with MIRE, under Executive Decree 975 of 2017, is enough when the process asks for a certified translation. If you file it with diplomas or certificates, those may need an apostille in the issuing country before translation. That step is done by the issuing authority or your lawyer, never by Lingo, and we tell you in your quote what applies.

Frequently asked questions

Does my CV translation have to be certified?

Only when the process asks for it. Your CV is always translated by a TPA registered with MIRE, and when a visa, permit or recognition file requires a certified translation, it is signed and sealed under Executive Decree 975 of 2017. We keep your sections, dates and job titles in order, so it reads clearly and professionally in the target language, not as a literal translation.

How much does it cost, and how long does it take?

It is priced by word: $20 covers the first 250-word page and each additional word adds $0.08, plus 7% ITBMS. A one-page CV comes to $21.40 with tax, and a two-page CV of 500 words comes to $42.80. Standard delivery takes up to 3 business days, and Express delivers in 1 business day (+50%) if your application deadline is close.

Is a CV the same as a résumé or an hoja de vida?

For translation purposes, yes. They are names for the document that summarizes your education and work experience: résumé is common in the United States, CV in much of the world, and hoja de vida or currículum in Latin America. We translate whichever version you have, priced by word from $20, keeping its sections, dates and job titles in the same order.

Can you translate my English CV into Spanish for a job in Panama?

Yes. We translate CVs from English or German into Spanish, and from Spanish into English or German. English costs $20 per 250-word page plus $0.08 per additional word; German costs $25 plus $0.10. If a Panamanian employer or a work permit file asks for a certified translation, it is signed and sealed by a TPA registered with MIRE.

Do you also translate the diplomas and letters behind my CV?

Yes. Besides your CV, we translate the diplomas, certificates and letters that support it, each one from $20 depending on its length. If you need them as a package for a job application or a visa, send everything on WhatsApp and you get a fixed price for the whole set before paying. Each document is signed and sealed by a TPA registered with MIRE.
