Frequently Asked Questions
This is an official translation provided on the company letterhead/template. It comes with a signed statement attesting that the translation is a true, complete, and accurate representation of the original document.
The certified translation must meet the following criteria:
- A copy of the original document attached to the translation.
- The translation provided on the letterhead of the translation agency which contains their contact details.
- A certificate of translation accuracy be included.
- Each translated page must be signed, stamped and dated.
Usually, self-certifying your own translation is not permitted, although this may vary based on the specific guidelines set by the recipient. It is crucial to consistently confirm the recipient’s translation requirements before commissioning the service to ensure you are making the right choices.
The translation certification serves as proof of the translation’s correctness and the translator’s competence. It may be signed by either the translator personally or by an authorized representative from the employing translation agency.
Notarized translation, on the other hand, serves to verify the signer’s identity through the presence of a notary public. This additional step enhances the validation of both the translation and the certification.
A certified or notarized document will be invalid unless it bears the relevant seals.
It’s possible, but not recommended. The apostille validates the original document, so it’s better to translate it afterward to include the apostille in the translation.
A sworn translator holds official authorization granted by government authorities, including the court, and in certain instances, by the ministries of foreign affairs or justice, empowering them to translate and issue certified or sworn documents. To authenticate a translated document, the translator meticulously affixes it to the original, accompanied by a formal declaration asserting their confidence in the accuracy and completeness of the translation. This declaration is further validated by the official seal.
Typically, the turnaround time for your order would depend on the total page count and language pair involved. Our standard turnaround starts at 24 hours for orders up to 4 pages (for some languages). Rush translation requests can reduce the turnaround to 12 hours or less, based on the customer’s request.
