A translation invoice usually names the work being billed, shows the total due, and states the payment terms. This template includes line items, a totals block, and a written payment section.
A translation invoice can mention certified translation as long as the wording matches what you delivered and doesn’t promise a certification you didn’t provide. The closing line in this template references certified translation, so you can keep it or adjust the wording to fit the job.
The common approach is to list the work as line items and charge per item, then show the total and the due date. This invoice also includes deposit and balance wording, so the client can see what’s due now and what’s due on delivery.
A deposit clause isn’t required, but it helps when work starts before final delivery. The payment section in this template states 40% to book and the remaining 60% on delivery, and you can change those figures to match your terms.
Online payment depends on whether a payment method is connected. This template supports being paid online if you connect a payment method before sending.
Late payment terms need to say what happens if payment doesn’t arrive on time. The payment section in this invoice states that final files may be delayed if payment arrives late, and you can edit that wording to match your process.
