What is a Certified or an Official Document Translation?
An official translation is the translation of a document, such as a birth certificate or academic transcript, with an accompanying certification or sworn statement from an authorised translator or agency.
Official translations are usually required if you're submitting a document issued in a foreign language to a government authority or organisation, as part of an application.
The term "official translation" is often used interchangeably with certified, sworn, notarised or legalised translations, but they are produced in slightly different ways.
Certified Translation of Documents
A certified translation is the translation of a document that is accompanied by a certification. The certification is usually in the form of a signature, stamp and a statement from the translator or a representative of the translation agency.
Certified translations are required by authorities and organisations in the UK, USA, Australia and Ireland and those produced by The Native Translator are completed on our letterhead or the letterhead of the certified translator, and accompanied by a Statement of Accuracy (affidavit) a stamp, signature and contact details. We use services of translators certified by ITI, ATA and NAATI.
Sworn Translation of Documents
Sworn translations are certified translations that can only be provided by officially appointed translators in the country you are submitting your application to. Sworn translators usually have to undertake exams, and are approved to only translate selected languages.
Several countries (e.g. Austria, Bulgaria, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and Switzerland) globally require a sworn translator. This is the standard certified translation at The Native Translator. The translation is made by an approved translator, who completes your translation, and appends his / hersignature, stamp & contact details, making the translation acceptable within that country.
The Mother Tongue Principle
The Mother Tongue Principle, also known as the Native Speaker Principle, is one of the corner stones of professional translation and is a very important consideration when employing translators for your content. The principle states that a linguist translates into their native language. An English native speaker translates content into English, an Dutch native speaker translates content into Dutch. A native speaker of a language is a person who was born, grew up and obtained his or her education in a country in which the target language is the official language.
