PUBLIC NOTARY OFFICE TRANSLATOR FOR FOREIGNERS

There is a big difference between certified translation and notarized translation; certified translation is required when submitting official documents for legal purposes. For instance, marriage certificates, birth/ death certificates, adoption papers, immigration documents, court transcripts, or business contracts that are not written in the official language of the country where the documents are to be submitted.

While, notarized translation is more about following official procedures. Notarized translation is usually required for education-based documents like high school transcripts or foreign diplomas. Unlike certified translation, the quality of the notarized translation is not the issue. It is more about fulfilling the formal requirements of an institution.

Our professional translators present the translated document to a notary public, who will ask the translator to swear an oath to the accuracy of the translation. Then, the translator will be asked to sign an affidavit sworn, which must contain the official seal and signature of the notary public before it becomes valid.

It is not about the quality of the provided translation. Instead, it is about fulfilling the formal requirements of the institution. As the notary public does not check the quality of the translation, but he concerned more about the identity of the translator.
