Notarized Translation Services
A notarized translation combines a translated document with supporting certification that is notarized when required by the receiving organization or authority.
Global Apostille Group can help coordinate notarized translations for personal, educational, legal, business, and international use.
What Is a Notarized Translation?
A notarized translation generally includes the translated document together with a translator statement or certification whose signature is notarized.
The notarization does not independently verify that every translated word is correct. Instead, it authenticates the relevant signature appearing on the translator's certification or supporting statement.
Whether notarization is necessary depends on the receiving authority and how the translated document will be used.
Some organizations accept a certified translation without notarization, while others may specifically request a notarized certification or another type of translated document.
Why Might I Need a Notarized Translation?
A notarized translation may be requested when an organization wants both a translated document and a notarized translator certification or supporting statement.
Schools & Universities
Academic institutions may request translated diplomas, transcripts, certificates, or supporting educational records in a particular certified or notarized format.
Government Agencies
Certain local, state, federal, or foreign government offices may request translations accompanied by a notarized translator statement or certification.
Immigration-Related Documents
Immigration filings require properly certified English translations, and some clients or related receiving organizations may request additional notarization depending on the document's intended use.
Courts & Legal Matters
Courts, attorneys, or other legal recipients may request translated records with specific certification or notarization requirements.
Business & Employment
Employers, licensing bodies, businesses, and professional organizations may request notarized supporting translation documents for official review.
International Use
A notarized translation may be part of a broader apostille, authentication, or legalization process when documents are being prepared for use abroad.
