Our Background

The relationship between a translation company and a notary typically involves the certification or notarization of translated documents. Notarization adds an extra layer of authentication and legal validity to the translated content. Here's how the process generally works:

1. Translation Services:

   • A client requires a document to be translated, such as legal contracts, certificates, or official records.

   • The client engages a translation company to handle the translation process.

2. Translation Process:

   • The translation company assigns a qualified translator who is proficient in both the source and target languages and has expertise in the specific subject matter.

   • The translated document is produced, maintaining accuracy and fidelity to the original.

3. Notarization:

   • In some cases, especially for legal or official documents, the client may need the translated content to be notarized for legal recognition.

   • The translation company may work in collaboration with a notary public or have access to notarial services.

4. Notary Public Involvement:

   • The notary public reviews the original document and the translated version to ensure accuracy.

   • The notary may administer an oath to the translator, attesting to the accuracy of the translation.

   • The notary then applies their official seal and signature to the translated document, certifying its authenticity.

5. Legal Recognition:

   • Once notarized, the translated document gains additional legal weight and can be submitted to authorities, courts, or other entities requiring official documentation.

It's important for both the translation company and the notary to adhere to legal and industry standards to ensure the validity and acceptance of the translated and notarized documents. The specifics of the process may vary depending on the jurisdiction and the type of document involved. Some documents may only require certification by the translator, while others necessitate notarization for official recognition. Clients should clarify their specific requirements with the translation company to ensure compliance with legal standards.
