When and where
Estimated total
What happens next
- Our coordinator contacts you to confirm the interpreter.
- We confirm the exact arrival time (for on-site work) or the call or video time, by phone or text.
- After confirmation, we send a secure payment link.
- If no interpreter is free, or something changes, we call you right away and offer the next available time or a video session at no extra charge.
Choosing the mode
On-site
Best for procedures, admissions and discharge, IEP meetings, workshops, court days and community fairs where the family is in the room.
Equipment and standards
- Interpreter arrives 15 minutes early, with parking details confirmed.
- For groups of 6 or more, we can provide a portable receiver kit so everyone hears clearly (confirm when booking).
- Interpreter is neutral, signs a confidentiality agreement, and never acts as a family member's advocate.
Video
Good for clinic follow-ups, school conferences with several staff, and case meetings across locations.
Equipment you need
- A laptop, tablet or phone with a camera and microphone. A headset is recommended.
- A stable connection, around 5 Mbps up and down.
- A quiet, private room with the camera on so the interpreter can see the speaker.
- We join the platform your organization uses, or our secure platform where health information is involved.
Phone
Fast access for triage, short questions, after-hours calls and information desks.
Equipment you need
- Any phone. Use speakerphone in a quiet room for groups.
- Dial-in details are sent by text one hour before.
- Three-way calling is available for clinic and school staff.

Why partnership matters
Language access is a legal requirement in healthcare, courts, schools and public programs, and it works best when it is planned. A partnership gives your organization one qualified team, a written process and a single point of contact. Families are served by linguists who understand their dialect and community and who work to a standard you agree in advance. And because steady, predictable volume lets us lower our rates, partners receive partner rates agreed in writing.

Iowa: about 1,300 Afghans were planned for resettlement in Central Iowa by mid-2022 (Radio Iowa, 2021). This is a resettlement plan, not a census count, so the population figure is still pending.
آیووا: تا اواسط ۲۰۲۲ حدود ۱٬۳۰۰ افغان برای اسکان در آیووای مرکزی برنامهریزی شده بود (Radio Iowa، ۲۰۲۱). این رقم برنامهٔ اسکان است، نه شمارش سرشماری؛ رقم جمعیت هنوز در انتظار است.
آیووا: تر ۲۰۲۲ د مني پورې شاوخوا ۱٬۳۰۰ افغانان د مرکزي آیووا د بیاځایولو لپاره پلان شوي وو (Radio Iowa، ۲۰۲۱). دا د بیاځایولو پلان شمېره ده، د سرشماری شمېره نه ده؛ د نفوسو شمېره لا هم پاتې ده.

Last updated: October 18, 2026
1. Send scans or photos, not originals
Send clear, full-page scans or photos. You do not need to send the original for translation. We agree the method with you before we start.
2. Do not mail originals unless we ask
Some services, such as apostille, notarization or court filings, need the original. In those cases, send the original to the office that handles it, not to us.
3. If we must hold an original
We agree this with you first. You send it by tracked, signed-for mail at your cost. We scan it into a private folder and return it by tracked mail within the agreed time.
4. Send only what we need
Send only the documents to be translated. Do not send passports or identity documents unless they are the documents being translated.
5. Secure sending only
Send documents only by a method we have confirmed with you. Do not send ID, bank or other sensitive documents by ordinary email or WhatsApp.
6. How long we keep files
We delete uploaded files and translations 90 days after your project closes, unless you ask us to keep them longer or delete them sooner.
7. For freelance linguists
We hire linguists based in the United States only. Agreements, onboarding packets and tax forms (W-9) are signed and submitted electronically.
About this policy
This policy explains what we collect when you request a quote or place an order. Hamwatan Language Solutions ("we") provides the services.
What we collect
Your name, email, phone number, service details (language, document type, page count, deadline), payment details from our payment provider, and any documents you upload at checkout.
Why we need it
To give you a price, translate or interpret your work, send receipts, deliver the finished work, and meet our legal and tax obligations.
Quotes do not need documents
For a quote, tell us the document type, number of pages, languages and deadline on our Quote page. No documents are needed for a quote. For a long-term partnership we can call, email or meet in person to agree how files are shared.
On-demand services with files
Voice-over, narration, transcription, subtitling and data services need audio, video or text files. Tell us the service, the length or number of files, the languages and the deadline. We agree a file transfer method with you before we start, because audio and video files are often large. We usually use a secure shared folder link (OneDrive or Google Drive) for audio and video, with a separate delivery folder.
Large files
Checkout accepts up to 20 files and 7.5 MB in total. For larger files, tell us before you order. We then send you a secure transfer link, or agree another secure method with you.
Booking and schedule
On-site, video (VRI) and phone (OPI) interpreting follow a limited schedule. A request is confirmed only after we check that our interpreter is available for that date and time. We cannot accept every request.
Who sees your documents
Only the staff who manage your order and the linguist assigned to it, who must first sign a confidentiality agreement (NDA). We share data with service providers for payment, email and storage under contracts that require them to protect it. We do not sell your information.
How we keep documents secure
Files are sent over an encrypted connection (HTTPS). Storage is private, access is limited to named people, accounts use multi-factor sign-in, and public or anyone-with-the-link sharing is turned off.
How long we keep information
Uploaded documents and translations are deleted 90 days after your project closes, unless you ask us to keep them longer or delete them sooner. Order records (invoice, amount, dates) are kept for as long as tax and accounting rules require.
Sensitive information
Do not send Social Security numbers, bank details or ID numbers unless a translation requires them. If we receive them when they are not needed, we delete them.
Health information
Medical records are handled with care. Where federal health privacy rules (HIPAA) apply, we sign a business associate agreement with the healthcare customer before we handle its records.
Your choices and rights
You can ask what information we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or withdraw your consent. Depending on your state, you may have more rights under state privacy law. Contact us through the Contact page.
Receipts and confirmations
After you place an order, an order number is shown on screen. You receive a confirmation and a payment receipt by email. Keep them for your records.
Data breaches
If a breach affects your personal information, we will notify you and any authority that the law requires, without unreasonable delay.
Confidentiality agreement (NDA)
An NDA is a signed contract in which a linguist agrees to use client information only for the assigned work, not share it, and delete it when the work is finished.
Changes and contact
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version. Questions? Contact us through the Contact page. If the English text and the Dari or Pashto text differ, the English version controls.
