What Is a Certified Translation?
A certified translation is a complete translation accompanied by a signed certification statement confirming that the translation is accurate and complete and that the translator is competent to translate between the languages involved.
​
The certification typically includes:
-
The translator’s or translation provider’s name
-
A statement confirming the translation is complete and accurate
-
A statement confirming competency in both languages
-
The translation date
-
A signature
-

For documents submitted to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, foreign-language documents generally must be accompanied by a complete English translation certified as complete and accurate by someone competent to translate from the original language into English.

​
Certified Translation vs. Notarized Translation
A certified translation includes a signed statement confirming that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to perform the translation.
​
A notarized translation usually means that the signature on the translator’s certification statement has been notarized.
​
The notary does not verify the accuracy of the translated language. The notary verifies the identity of the person signing the certification and completes the appropriate notarial act.
​
Not every organization requires notarization. Clients should confirm the exact requirements with the agency receiving the documents.
Certified Translation vs. Apostille
A certified translation and an apostille serve different purposes.
​
A certified translation provides an accurate translation of the document into another language and includes a certification statement.
​
An apostille authenticates an eligible public official’s signature, seal, or authority for use in another country.
​
Depending on the destination country and receiving agency, a document may need:
-
Only a certified translation
-
Only an apostille
-
A certified translation after the apostille
-
A notarized translator certification
-
Apostille of the notarized certification
-
Authentication and embassy legalization
We can review your request and help coordinate the appropriate services.
