Certified Translation
Accurate translations recognised by official authorities
Certain documents must be translated and formally certified before they can be accepted by government agencies, universities, courts, or other official institutions. Personal translations or informal versions are rarely accepted, even when the individual understands both languages.
Prozmart connects clients with qualified professional translators who prepare accurate translations and provide the appropriate certification required by authorities. Each translation is handled carefully to ensure the content matches the original document while meeting formal certification standards.
Certified translations are commonly required for immigration applications, academic admissions, legal proceedings, employment documentation, and international business transactions.
Types of Certified Translation Available
Before requesting a translation, it is advisable to confirm with the receiving authority which type of certification they require. Prozmart supports several recognised certification options.
Digital Certified Translation
Digital certification confirms that the translation was completed by a qualified professional translator. The translator or translation provider issues a signed certification statement verifying that the translation is accurate and complete.
Certified translations are usually delivered electronically with the certification attached. If required, printed copies can also be provided.
Notarised or Sworn Translation
Some institutions require an additional level of authentication. In these cases, the translator's certification is confirmed by a Notary Public, who verifies the identity of the translator and the authenticity of the declaration.
The notary places an official seal and signature on the certification, providing an extra layer of legal validation. Notarised translations are frequently requested for legal filings, immigration processes, and official registrations.
Apostille or Government Legalisation
Certain international procedures require documents to undergo further verification after notarisation. In these cases, the certified translation and supporting documents may need to be legalised by the appropriate government authority through an apostille or official legalisation process.
This step confirms that the notarised document is valid for use in another country.
