What Is a Certified Translation?

A certified translation is a translated document accompanied by a signed statement from the translator or translation provider confirming that the translation is complete and accurate and identifying the translator's qualifications or competence, as required by the receiving institution.

Certified translations are commonly requested when documents must be submitted to government agencies, educational institutions, employers, or other official organizations.

The exact certification requirements depend on where the translated document will be presented.

What Documents Can Be Translated?

Certified translations are commonly requested for a variety of personal, educational, and business documents.

These may include:

• Birth certificates
• Marriage certificates
• Divorce decrees
• Death certificates
• Diplomas and academic transcripts
• Powers of attorney
• Business and corporate documents
• Financial statements
• Official correspondence
• Other personal and legal documents

Before requesting a translation, it's important to confirm whether the receiving organization requires a certified translation, a notarized translator statement, or another form of authentication.

Armenian to English Certified Translation

Glendale is home to a large Armenian-speaking community, and many residents need Armenian documents translated into English for use in the United States.

Common requests include Armenian birth certificates, marriage certificates, educational records, and official documents.

An accurate translation should preserve important information such as names, dates, document numbers, and official details.

APEX VAHANYAN assists clients with Armenian-to-English and English-to-Armenian certified translation requests.

For assistance in Glendale or nearby communities, contact 818-964-0111.

Russian to English Certified Translation

Russian-language documents may also require certified translation when presented to American institutions.

Examples include educational records, civil registration documents, and personal or business paperwork.

Accurate translation is particularly important when documents contain official terminology, names, and dates.

We assist clients with Russian-to-English and English-to-Russian document translation requests.

Certified Translations for USCIS

When submitting a foreign-language document to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), an English translation is generally required.

Under USCIS regulations, the translation must be complete and accompanied by a certification from the translator stating that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate from the foreign language into English.

A notarized translation is not automatically required for every USCIS submission.

Always review the instructions for your specific application and any additional requirements issued by the receiving authority.

Do Certified Translations Need to Be Notarized?

This is one of the most common questions clients ask.

A certified translation and a notarized translation are not the same thing.

A translation certification addresses the completeness and accuracy of the translation.

A California notary public, on the other hand, performs an authorized notarial act, such as acknowledging a signature or administering an oath. Notarization does not independently verify the accuracy of the translation.

Some institutions require only a certified translation, while others may request a notarized statement from the translator.

It's important to confirm the requirements before proceeding.

Do Translated Documents Need an Apostille?

If a document will be used outside the United States, an apostille may be required in certain circumstances.

However, an apostille and a certified translation serve different purposes.

An apostille authenticates the origin of an eligible public document. It does not certify the accuracy of a translation.

Depending on the country and receiving institution, the original document, a notarized translator statement, or another eligible document may need authentication.

At APEX VAHANYAN Notary & Apostille Services, we can assist with coordinating certified translations, notarization, and apostille requests when applicable.
