Notarized Translation Services: Professional Authentication for Global Use

In many international legal and administrative processes, a simple translation—or even a sworn translation—may not be enough. Certain institutions require a Notarized Translation. This process adds a layer of official government-recognized verification, confirming the identity of the translator and the authenticity of their signature.

At ProTranslates, we simplify this complex bureaucratic step. We provide end-to-end notarized translation services in English, German, French, and Turkish, ensuring your documents are accepted without question by global authorities.

What is a Notarized Translation?

A notarized translation is a document that has been translated by a professional linguist and subsequently signed in the presence of a Notary Public. The Notary does not verify the accuracy of the translation itself but certifies that the translator is who they claim to be and that their signature on the certification is genuine.

A notarized translation includes:

• The original document (or a certified copy).
• The completed translation.
• A “Translator’s Affidavit” or certificate of accuracy.
• The Notary Public’s official seal, signature, and commission details.

When Do You Need Notary Certification?

You will typically need a notarized translation for high-stakes legal, financial, or international matters, such as:

• Financial & Banking: Loan applications, bank statements, and investment documents.
• Education: High school diplomas and university transcripts for foreign admission.
• Legal & Court Matters: Adoption papers, divorce decrees, and affidavits.
• Corporate: Power of Attorney, patent filings, and merger/acquisition documents.
• Governmental: Passport applications and certain types of visa filings.
