Some Definitions Related to Translation services

What is a Certified Translation and when it may be required?

We issue a certificates stating that our company performed a true and correct in all material respects translation. This is satisfactory a for a number of agencies, such as Citizenship and Immigration Canada, Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) from the USA, Transport Canada, Law firms etc.

When a certified translation is NOT required

In other instances the above-mentioned certificate is not required at all. Normally clients ordering translation of advertising, medical, technical and other types of similar materials do not ask for the certificate.
 

Some Exceptional Circumstances and Notarized Documents.

Other forms of Certificates/Affidavits have been issued in the past for a number of court cases where judges or lawyers asked our translators to sign additional affidavits. In these particular cases, the translator in charge for the assignment was asked to sign an affidavit stating that he/she was responsible for translating the document. These instances involved our translators’ personally guaranteeing that they have provided a true and correct in all material respects translation. Normally this additional step is requested in order to avoid questions concerning accuracy or translator's identity.

There were some cases where a Notary Public employed by our company was asked to certify a “TRUE COPY” of certain document to confirm authenticity thereof. It is known as a CERTIFIED COPY of a document. This is referred to as Notarized Document (s). When translation service is performed and a translator affirms he/she performed a true and correct in all material respects translation before a Notary Public it is known as a Notarized Translation.

This may be requested by a number of agencies like Justice Departments, Insurance companies, Citizenship and Immigration Canada, etc.
