Translation and document notarisation. Kiev.

Certified translation is a process of translating documents from one language to another with subsequent notarization by a notary public. In this type of translation, the notary public confirms with their seal and signature that the translation is accurately and faithfully rendered according to the content of the original document.

Both Ukrainian citizens, foreign nationals, and organizations (business companies, educational institutions, government agencies, etc.) utilize the notarized document translation service offered by “AventA” Translation Bureau for the official validation of document translations into other languages.

Document and translation requirements for notarization

There are specific requirements associated with notarizing translated documents. For instance, it must accurately correspond to the original both in meaning and form. Typos are not permitted in the translation, and it can only be performed by a qualified translator holding a diploma. Such a specialist signs the translation, and their full name must be present in the certification statement.

There are various limitations regarding the types of documents that can be certified. For instance, a notary is not authorized to certify certain documents such as purpose-specific documents, references, and others. Therefore, it is crucial for the client to inquire with the notary or the translation bureau’s manager about which specific documents can be certified. Furthermore, it’s important to understand that even if a document translation is certified by a notary, it doesn’t guarantee its unconditional acceptance by the organization where you intend to submit it.

Important considerations

Do not make a final decision solely based on consultations with our or other companies’ managers. Be sure to clarify in detail the terms of document submission, their requirements, the full list of necessary documents, and deadlines at the organizations where you intend to submit your documents.

Only by adhering to all the above requirements can we guarantee the receipt of a correctly notarized translation of the document.
