Understanding Certified Translation
What Makes a Translation “Certified”?
A certified translation is completed by a qualified translator who provides a signed statement declaring the translation is accurate and complete. These are typically required by:
- Government agencies
- Court systems
- Universities and colleges
- Business or corporate entities
Common Documents That Require Certified Translation
- Academic transcripts and diplomas
- Police clearance or criminal record checks
- Legal agreements and contracts
- Identity documents (e.g., passports, citizenship certificates)
Why Add Notarization to Certified Translations?
While a certified translation confirms the document’s accuracy, notarization adds a legal layer of validation. A notary public verifies the translator’s identity and signature, making the document acceptable in courts, consulates, and government offices worldwide.
Situations That May Require Notarization
- Sworn affidavits for court use
- Immigration or visa-related documentation
- Real estate or business transactions across borders
- Adoption and guardianship documents
Benefits of a Combined Certified Translation & Notarization Service
- Avoids delays caused by separate service providers
- Ensures legal acceptance across multiple jurisdictions
- Reduces the risk of rejection for official purposes
- Convenient one-stop solution for time-sensitive documents
