What is the Difference Between Certified, Notarised and Legalized Translations?
If you’re considering official UK translation services, it’s important to understand the differences between certified, notarized, and legalized translations.
Certified translations are often required for official documents needed for immigration or professional applications within the UK or at a UK-based embassy. Certified translations are completed by a qualified professional and provide proof of accurate and official translations for legal documents. They include the translator’s name, signature, contact information, and the date of the translation. Certified translations are typically used for legal documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, business contracts, immigration papers, and court transcripts.
Notarized and legalized (Apostille) translations are accepted at UK-based embassies but have additional steps and requirements. Notarized translations require oversight from a notary and have more of a focus on following official procedures. They have been certified by a government appointee and may be required to go through additional steps such as approval from the Foreign Office or consular legislation if used abroad. Notarized translations usually apply to education-based documents such as diplomas, degree certificates, professional qualifications, and administrative documents.
The legalization process ensures that the translated document is valid in both countries involved in the translation process. Common translation errors can lead to delays or rejections of applications due to inaccuracies or omissions in important details. Therefore, it is crucial to choose an accredited translation company that provides high-quality services with attention to detail for international acceptance.
Understanding these distinctions will help you choose the right type of translation service for your needs.
