Certifying Your Translation

Translayte provides certified, sworn, notarised and legalised translations that are accepted globally.

We explain some of the core differences below.

What is an Official Translation?

An official translation is the translation of a document, such as a birth certificate or academic transcript, with an accompanying certification or sworn statement from an authorised translator or agency.

Official translations are usually required if you're submitting a document issued in a foreign language to a government authority or organisation, as part of an application. 

The term "official translation" is often used interchangeably with certified, sworn, notarised or legalised translations, but they are produced in slightly different ways.

Certified Translation

A certified translation is the translation of a document that is accompanied with a certification. The certification is usually in the form of a signature, stamp and a statement from the translator or a representative of the translation agency.

Certified translations are required by authorities and organisations in the UK, USA, Australia and Ireland and those produced by Translayte are completed on our letterhead, and accompanied by a Statement of Accuracy, our stamp, signature and contact details. If you would like more information on how to get your certified translations done, see the countries in the table below:

Sworn Translation

Sworn translations are certified translations that can only be provided by officially appointed translators in the country you are submitting your application to. Sworn translators usually have to undertake exams, and are only approved to translate select languages.

Several countries globally (e.g. France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands and Germany) require a sworn translator. In such cases, Translayte will work with an approved translator, who completes your translation, and appends their signature, stamp & contact details, making the translation acceptable within that country. Here are some of the countries that require sworn translations:

FranceGermanyBelgium
ItalyNetherlandsPoland
SpainBrazilBulgaria

Notarised Translation

Notarised translations are certified translations that include a sworn statement from a Notary Public. A Notary Public appends their signature & stamp to the translation, confirming the identity of the translator and certifying their statement. A Notary cannot verify the authenticity of the translation, as they are usually not translators.

Notarised Translations produced by Translayte are first certified, then presented to a British Notary Public (if it is for the UK), who appends their signature & stamp to our company certification. Notarised translations may be required in Portugal, by UK Courts, Embassies or Foreign Institutions. Here are the requirements of other countries that may request notarised translation: 

CanadaPortugal 
TurkeyLithuania

Legalised Translations (Apostille)

Legalised translations are certified or sworn translations that have been "legalised" by a Government Ministry to make them admissible in any foreign country that is part of The Hague Convention. The legalisation process may involve getting an Apostille, which is then affixed to the translation. In addition to getting official translations for your documents, Translayte is also able to get apostilles from various countries for your official documents. All you have to do it select the apostille option at the point of your order.   

Furthermore, Translayte produces legalised translations either by requesting one from a sworn translator, or by having our certified translation notarised, and then legalised by the relevant authority in the source country. Below, we share more information on how you can get apostilles or Consular legalisation for your documents from different countries:
