Professional translations with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy

A certified translation includes a signed statement from the translator or translation provider confirming that the translation is complete and accurate.

Certified translations are commonly requested by government agencies, educational institutions, employers, and other organizations for official document submissions.

Documents commonly translated:

  • Birth, marriage, divorce, and death certificates
  • Academic diplomas and transcripts
  • Passports and identification records
  • Police clearance certificates and background checks
  • Employment and financial records
  • Business contracts and corporate documents
  • Court records and other legal documents

Certified Translation for USCIS

We coordinate certified English translations of foreign-language documents commonly submitted with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) applications and petitions.

USCIS generally requires a complete English translation accompanied by a certification that the translation is accurate and complete and that the translator is competent to translate into English.

Our translation services do not include immigration consulting, application preparation, or legal advice.

Not sure whether a certified translation is required? Please confirm the requirements with the organization receiving your documents.

2. Notarized Translation

3 notarized translation services east bay notary express compress

Certified translation with an additional notarized translator's statement

A notarized translation generally includes a certified translation accompanied by a translator’s statement or declaration signed before a notary public.

The notary performs the applicable notarial act involving the signer. Notarization does not independently verify or certify the accuracy of the translation.

Common document requests include:

  • Birth and marriage certificates for international submissions
  • Academic diplomas and transcripts
  • Translator declarations and affidavits
  • Powers of attorney and related records
  • Business and corporate documents
  • Other documents requiring a notarized translator’s statement

Notarized translations may be requested by certain foreign institutions, consulates, government agencies, or other organizations.

Important: Not all certified translations require notarization. Please confirm whether the receiving organization specifically requests a notarized translator’s declaration.

We can coordinate notarization of eligible translator declarations through our translation partner or other authorized notarial services, as appropriate.

3. Sworn Translation

4 sworn translation services official translator east bay notary express compress

Official translations prepared by translators holding the qualifications required by a particular jurisdiction

A sworn translation is prepared or certified by a translator who holds the official appointment, authorization, or status required under the rules of a particular country or jurisdiction.

Sworn translations may be requested for documents submitted to foreign government offices, courts, consulates, universities, and other official institutions.

Common document requests include:

  • Birth, marriage, divorce, and death certificates
  • Academic diplomas and transcripts
  • Police clearance certificates
  • Court decisions and judicial records
  • Powers of attorney
  • Civil registry and nationality-related records
  • Business and corporate documents

Spanish Sworn Translation — Traducción Jurada

Spain may require translations prepared by an officially appointed sworn translator, known as a traductor-intérprete jurado, for certain official and administrative procedures.

These may include civil registry submissions, academic qualification recognition, and other government-related document submissions.

For Spanish sworn translation requests, please provide the receiving authority’s instructions and confirm whether the document will be submitted in Spain or to a Spanish consulate.

We can forward those specifications to our translation partner and confirm the available services and translator qualifications.

Sworn Translations for Other Countries

Countries such as Colombia, Germany, France, and Italy may have different requirements concerning sworn translators, official certifications, signatures, and stamps.

A translator recognized in one jurisdiction may not meet another jurisdiction’s requirements.

Please provide the destination country, receiving organization, and any written translation requirements. We can coordinate the requested service with our professional translation partner, subject to availability.

The receiving authority determines whether the completed translation satisfies its requirements.

4. Apostilled Translation

5 apostilled translation services california east bay notary express compress

Translation coordination with apostille and document authentication services for international use

Some documents intended for international use require both professional translation and an apostille or other form of authentication.

Depending on the receiving authority’s instructions, an apostille may be required for the original public document, an eligible notarized translator’s declaration, or another qualifying document associated with the translation.

An apostille authenticates the applicable public official’s signature, official capacity, and seal, where relevant. It does not certify the accuracy or contents of the translation.

Common document requests include:

  • Birth and marriage certificates
  • Academic diplomas and transcripts
  • FBI background checks and other eligible public records
  • Powers of attorney and notarized declarations
  • Business and corporate documents
  • Documents submitted to foreign authorities

Should a Document Be Apostilled Before or After Translation?

The required sequence depends on the document, destination country, and receiving organization’s instructions.

Some authorities request an apostille on the original document before translation. Others may request authentication of an eligible notarized translator’s declaration.

East Bay Notary Express coordinates translation and eligible apostille processing according to the client’s documents and the receiving authority’s instructions.

We do not independently determine legal requirements for foreign jurisdictions.
