What Is Certified Translation?

Certified translation is a translation that carries a declaration and a signature from the translator, confirming the complete accuracy of the translation and the translator’s professional competence to faithfully render the content of your documents.

EgyTranscript provides certified translation services in both English and Arabic, supported by a professional team of certified translators. This ensures that your documents are handled by skilled and experienced translation specialists—not simply bilingual personnel—delivering the accuracy, reliability, and confidence required for official use.

Most legal and immigration documents, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, and academic transcripts, require certified translation that should meet specific requirements in order to be valid.

At EgyTranscript, we have profound experience in delivering certified translation for different types of documents.

Certified vs. Notarized Translation: What’s the Difference?

Certified translation includes translating the document and attaching a signed declaration from the translator or an authorized representative of the translation company confirming its accuracy and completeness. An official certification stamp is also applied, adding credibility to the translation and supporting its acceptance for official use.

Most organizations, legal authorities, and many business institutions typically require certified translations with an official stamp to verify that the translation accurately reflects the original document and meets the required standards of language quality, content accuracy, and professional presentation.

In some cases, a translation may require notarization, where a notary public verifies the translator’s signature. This is often requested by legal authorities and official government entities.

Because requirements can vary from one organization to another, EgyTranscript always recommends checking with the authority or entity receiving your documents to confirm whether they require a certified translation or a notarized translation.

Certified Technical Translation: Specialized Expertise That Makes the Difference

Alongside personal and legal documents, there is a growing demand for certified translation in specialized technical fields—especially as businesses expand into international markets and regulatory compliance requirements continue to increase across borders. This is where EgyTranscript’s certified technical translation services make a real difference. Our work goes beyond translating meaning; we ensure precise terminology and industry-specific accuracy in every project, making our service the trusted choice for organizations that cannot afford mistakes.

At EgyTranscript, our certified technical translation services include:

  • Engineering and industrial documents: technical specifications, operation manuals, and engineering reports.
  • Medical and pharmaceutical translation: clinical research, medication leaflets, and treatment protocols.
  • Specialized legal translation: contracts, international agreements, and arbitration documents.
  • Information technology documents: software manuals and technical documentation for digital systems.
  • Quality and compliance documentation: ISO standards, audit reports, and regulatory documents.

 

What sets technical translation apart is that it goes beyond translating words—it ensures that every term is used accurately within its exact technical context. A single incorrectly translated term in an engineering or medical document can lead to serious operational or legal consequences. That is why every technical document at EgyTranscript is assigned to a translator with direct expertise in that specific field, ensuring accuracy and clarity.
