Documents to prepare
- Originals or colour scans of every page to be translated
- Passport copy of the document holder to fix name spelling
- Receiving authority and country so the certification wording matches
- Any recipient guideline stating the translator type required
- Company affidavit for corporate documents requiring signatory verification
Why cases get rejected
- "Sworn translator" is defined differently by country — read the recipient's rule first
- Names, places and qualifications must be transliterated consistently across the set
- Seals and signatures must be described in the translation, never left blank
- Translating before the source is finalised often means paying to translate twice
How the work actually runs
- 1. Determine the translator standard required
Sworn translator, certified translation, or translation plus consular legalisation each carry different weight. We confirm before starting.
