Legal Translation – Certifications
A Certified Translation is the translation of a document that has been certified as accurate for submission to a wide range of official organisations and bodies.
Documents that may require Translation Certification include official transcripts (high school certificates, university degrees and vocational training certificates); regulatory documents (informed consents, protocols, research data forms and case report forms); papers that need to be submitted to official bodies (birth, marriage and divorce certificates); and patents.
Translation Certification
Translator’s Certificate
An official signed declaration by the translator, or Translator’s Certificate, proving that the translation is accurate and complete to the best of their knowledge and ability is also available.
I, the undersigned <Name of translator>, <qualifications>, hereby certify that the translation from the <Source language> language into the <Target language> language of the <Title of document translated / job reference / job ID>, hereunto annexed, [as commissioned by <Name of client>,] has been performed for and on behalf of <Translation Company Name> by myself to the best of my knowledge and ability and that it is a true and accurate rendering of the legible text, as contained in the original.
Certified translations will be appropriately stamped with the translator’s name and address, registration number and membership.
Notarisation
Notarisation is the authentication of a document that involves the translator swearing an oath before a Notary Public who confirms that they are a professionally qualified translator and their authorisation to translate such documents. The notary then adds his or her seal and a certified copy of the original text attached.
Reasons why we may be requested to provide a Notarised Translation can be for overseas governmental authorities, a foreign court or a trade registry, and any other transaction abroad involving commercial activity.
