Notarial certification
A notary does not check your translation. They confirm that the person who signed it is who they say they are, and that the signature on file matches. That small confirmation is what lets the next authority in the chain act.
Two different things get notarised
The first is the sworn translator's signature on the accuracy statement. The second is a certified true copy of an original you would rather not surrender — a passport, a diploma, a company deed. Authorities often ask for one and mean the other, so we confirm with the institution when the request is ambiguous.
What you get
- Certification of the sworn translator's signature
- Certified true copies of originals you need to keep
- Arranged directly after translation, in one handover
- Formatted for the ministry or embassy step that follows
Common questions
Do I have to appear before the notary?
Not for certification of a translator's signature — the translator appears, not you. Certified copies and powers of attorney can require your presence or a valid authorisation, which we set up in advance.
