What is a certified translation?

In the United States, a certified translation can be provided by any professional translator. The translator must sign a document assuring that the translation is an accurate replica of the original document, and the translation is certified.

What is a notarized translation?

A notarized translation is simply an additional authentication for the certified translation. A Notarized Translation is a document signed by a translator in front of a notary. The translator has to swear an oath on its accuracy and sign an affidavit in front of the Notary. The Notary public signs the documents and attaches their official stamp or seal.

Why will you need certified translations?

Clients may need certified translations for many reasons. Procedures with government entities (e.g. applying for a visa, obtaining a driver’s license, claiming public benefits) often require certified translations.

Similarly, legal proceedings, both civil (e.g. adoption, divorce) and criminal, may demand certified translations.

Educational institutions also require foreign candidates to submit certified translations of application documents (e.g. diplomas, transcripts.)
