Online booking for immigration, translation and notary services

CaliDiary lets clients book an immigration consultation, an interpreter, a certified translation drop-off or a notary appointment on your WordPress website. The form asks which language, which visa route or which document, files arrive before the meeting, and everything stays on your own website.

  • Free plan, no booking limit
  • Bookings stay on your website

Which plan

Solo suits a sole adviser or notary; Pro suits a team of interpreters

A sole adviser, translator or notary can start free and move to Solo for document uploads, dropdowns, card payments, invoices and video links. A practice with several advisers or a pool of interpreters needs Pro for unlimited people, each offering their own languages.

Compare Free, Solo and Pro

Documents before the meeting

Immigration, translation and notarial work all start with paperwork. On Solo and Pro, the booking form can ask for passports, permits, certificates or the documents to be translated, with the kinds and sizes of file you choose. Files are checked by their contents, stored privately on your own server, and photos lose their hidden location data. See file uploads.

The right person for the language

A pool of interpreters or translators is a team: each person has their own hours, the services they offer and their own calendar. Clients choose the language first and then see only the people who can take the booking, or simply the first one free. The booking lock stops two clients taking the same interpreter at the same time.

Paid before, confirmed after

Notary appointments and certified translations are often paid upfront. Clients pay by card through your own Stripe, PayPal or Mollie account, or by bank transfer with their reference, and every payment is recorded against the booking with a numbered invoice on Solo and Pro.

Clients in other countries

Many clients are overseas. Video consultations get a Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet link automatically, and the booking form works in any modern browser, on a phone or by keyboard alone.

Sensitive information stays with you

Clients' details, answers and documents are stored in your own WordPress database and on your own server, never on CaliDiary's. Appointment notes are for staff only. CaliDiary does not give immigration or legal advice.

Questions from immigration advisers

Can clients choose an interpreter by language?
Yes. Make a service per language, or one service with a language question, and assign each interpreter the services they offer. Clients only see interpreters who can take the booking.
Are passport scans kept secure?
Uploaded files are stored outside your website's public folders, opened only by signed-in staff, and deleted with the booking or on request. They never reach CaliDiary's servers. Encrypting sensitive answers in the database is on the roadmap.
Can a client book a consultation and a translation in one visit?
Yes, on Solo and Pro. Clients can choose more than one service, and the times and prices add up into one appointment.
Does CaliDiary give immigration advice or check eligibility?
No. CaliDiary is booking software. You decide what to ask, and the advice is yours.
