A certified translation is a legally valid translation done by a translator who has passed an authorised translators’ exam. An authorised (or sworn) translator affirms with his or her signature and authorised translator’s stamp that the translation is accurate and complete and that it corresponds to the original source document. The translator does not, however, verify the authenticity of the source document.

Not all translations need to be certified, but translations of official documents, such as diplomas and certificates, are usually required to be certified. We recommend that you check whether or not you need a certified translation with the person or organisation requesting the translation.
