All About Certified and Notarized Translations



A lot of times, especially if you are going through immigration
services (INS), or if you are taking evidence in a foreign language to
court, you may be told to obtain a certified and notarized translation
of your document, but the problem is that you have no idea what a
certified and notarized translation is. Many people get confused by
these terms since the terms can mean different things in different
situations. In this article, we will explain these terms and clarify
the meanings. Basically, to make a translation official, it needs to be
certified according to the laws in the destination country. In general,
the certification procedure is different in different countries because
of different requirements to translators' credentials. The
certification requirements also depend on the purpose of the
translation (i.e. immigration purposes, patent, court proceedings).
Finally, some governmental organizations that are very strict may
require notarization in addition to certification. We will cover both
certification and notarization in the following paragraphs.



In general, if a document is a correspondence or a technical manual,
web-site, brochure, or a document that are not being submitted to an
formal party, then there is no need for certification. In unofficial
cases, it is up to the client to accept the translation. If you feel
that the translator is fluent in both languages, then you can feel safe
about your translated document. On the contrary, if you are translating
a document that should be submitted to court or to immigration
services, such translation ought to be officially validated. The
purpose of this validation is to make sure that the translator is
fluent in the languages and is personally responsible for the
translation, which appears for an accepting party as the true
information. The laws vary in different countries. Visit Legally
