Translator’s Affidavit

What the translator affidavit means

To ensure acceptance by immigration, government, and employers, certain documents must be certified. This is the so-called certified translation service. One of the requirements of a certified translation is the translator’s affidavit on it. A translator’s affidavit will guarantee that:

• The translated documents receive a statement signed by the translator or translation company representative
• This statement includes the translator’s signature notarized by a Notary Public
• It states that the translator believes that the target-language text is an accurate and complete translation of the source-language text.

Example of an actual translator’s affidavit

This certification’s main goal is to let the reader know that a professional translator crafted the translation and assures that it was done to the best of her/his knowledge.

Elements in a Certified Translation

These are must-have elements in a certified translation:

• Translator’s name, statement, and signature (translator’s affidavit)
• Company stamp
• Security seal with a number code for the translator
• Golden seal with the company incorporation details

Notarization of the document from a notary public is optional although highly sought by our clients using translations for immigration and other official purposes.
