DELIVERING CERTIFIED LEGAL TRANSLATIONS

If you’re having an official document translated, you may well be asked to get it certified before it’s accepted by an authority or body. You may require standard, notarisation or legalisation certification of your legal translations. As an approved, corporate member of the professional translation body, the Association of Translation Companies (ATC), Dialogue is authorised to certify all categories of legal translations.

Types of Certified Legal Translation

Standard

For general or official documents which need to be presented to academic institutions or to prove identity or marital status. This is often, but not always, sufficient for birth or divorce certificates.

Notarisation

For official documents and deeds requested by public authorities, government bodies and courts. This is a declaration by the translator which is made in writing and on oath (sworn) in front of a Notary Public that the translation is, to the best of the translator’s knowledge, complete and accurate.

Legalisation

For documents to be presented to overseas authorities outside the UK (e.g. office relocation or work applications). To legalise ‘notarised certification’, the FCO needs to apostille it and it may then require an embassy seal.
