What constitutes a notarized translation?

A notarized translation is a legally recognized translation of your original document, ensuring exact replication of content. Our skilled translators meticulously translate your document, which is subsequently certified by a notary. Notarized translations are indispensable for submissions to courts, government offices, universities, and embassies, serving various purposes such as marriages to foreign citizens, commercial contracts with international companies, or documents for studying abroad.

Why is it necessary to have my document translated by professionals instead of doing it myself and then getting it certified?

Certified translations demand expertise not only in translation but also in legal terminology. Our translators possess both, ensuring your document complies with legal regulations regarding form, layout, and content. Each certified translation includes an addendum affirming its equivalence to the original, guaranteeing its legal validity.
