1 What is certified translation?
It is an official translation issued by a licensed translation office, bearing the office stamp and the translator’s signature, which makes it acceptable to government bodies, embassies and universities.
2 What is the difference between certified and regular translation?
A regular translation only conveys the content, while a certified translation is issued with an official stamp and signature that confirm it matches the original and give it legal standing before official authorities.
3 Which authorities usually require certified translation?
Certified translation is mainly required for government and international transactions, including:
- Embassies and consulates (visas, Schengen and immigration).
- Ministries and government bodies (such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Justice).
