Before you order a judicially certified translation from us, it makes sense to clarify the following points:
- Should/Must the entire document be translated?
It is not uncommon for only parts of the document in question to be relevant to the court or authority. It is worth clarifying in advance which parts of the text are actually required and therefore need to be translated. In this way, you may be able to save costs.
- What should be attached to the judicially certified translation?
According to prevailing practice, the source text, whose conformity with the official translation is confirmed by the sworn translator with their stamp and signature or digital signature, will be attached to the translation; in the form of either
- the original document, or
- a certified copy (in this case, a notary will previously confirm the conformity of the copy with the original document), or
- a simple photocopy (usually for personal documents such as ID cards, birth certificates, etc., since the original document is needed for other purposes)
The best way to find out what to attach in each case is to contact the relevant authority.
