Certified Translation
When something is translated by a professional translator or a translation agency they provide a certificate of accuracy which ensures that the translated text is a complete and accurate representation of the source text. A certification contains a stamp, a unique registration number, date and signature of the translator or the one who has the authority. A certified translation is treated as a legal document.
Notarized Translation
Notarization of translation requires a specific procedure to be followed. The translator has to swear an oath before the Notary Public authorized by the government. A notarized translation concerns more on the legitimacy of the translator than the quality of the translation but this does not mean that the quality of notarized translation is any less than that of other translations.
Legalized Translation
The process of making an authenticated document valid for it to use in a foreign country is called legalization. This job can only be done by the consulate of the certain country where the documents will be used. This does not guarantee the quality of the translated text, it just confirms that whether the stamp on the document is genuine or not.
Apostille
This is another type of certification but it is only valid for those countries who are signatories of the Hague Convention. The Apostille Treaty is an international treaty that declares that a document, when issued according to the told process, might be certified and considered of equal legal importance in all the other signatory countries. The certification provided is called an Apostille.
Translator’s affidavit
The translator’s affidavit is a word of honour of the translator that the translated text is an accurate representation of the source text. This gives the assurance that the translation is done to the best of the translator’s knowledge. A translator’s affidavit can only be issued by a translator and no one else.
