Notarized Translation

A notarized translation is when a notary witnesses the signature of the translator and stamps the statement at the time of the signing. This statement formally affirms that the translation was done properly.

What is a Notarized Translation?

Not to be confused with a certified translation, a notarized translation is done to further authenticate a translation. When a translator signs an affidavit to affirm that the translation is complete and accurate, they do so with the notary as an official witness.

A notary public has gone through the state application process to be commissioned as an official witness to signatures. An official stamp marks the notarized documents to validate the notary’s credentials.

When Notarized Translations are Used

Notarized translations fulfill the administrative requirements of an institution. This is often a requirement when applying for admissions to college or university. In addition to academics, a notarized translation is also required for some job applications.

Diplomas and high school transcripts written in another language need to be translated to English for the enrollment process. Then the translation needs to have with it a sworn affidavit.

The affidavit is signed by the translator with a notary present. First, the notary verifies the translator’s identity with a photo ID, then they will witness the document being signed. The notary stamps the document with their credentials then provides their signature and date.

Certified translations are printed on Languex letterhead accompanied by signed and stamped certificate of accuracy. Translations are formatted similarly to the original document and reflect the original design.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Difference Between a Notarized and Certified Translation?

Notarized” and “certified” sound like similar terms, but they are not interchangeable and do not have the same function.

A certified translation does not require a notary. It’s a word-for-word translation accompanied by a certificate of accuracy that is signed by the supervising agent of the translating company. This certificate also includes the identification of the translator and the date. The statement affirms that the translation is complete, accurate, and was done by a qualified translator.

A notarized translation involves an official notary who must be present to witness the statement of accuracy being signed by the translator. The notary will verify the identity of the translator, witness it being signed, and will give it an official stamp.

A notarized translation does not need to be certified, and a certified translation does not need to be notarized. However, for some administrative requirements (such as academic institutions) the translation must be certified and notarized.
What are the Requirements for a Notarized Translation?

A notarized translation includes a statement that the translation was done completely, accurately, and by a qualified translator. This statement cannot be signed until a notary is present to witness it.

The notary must be commissioned by the state and their status must be current (as these expire and must be renewed). Notaries have an official stamp that states their credentials and prompts them to enter other pertinent details.

Once the notary has completed all the steps of the notarization process with the translator, the translation will be notarized and ready to forward to the administration.
