Notarization of Translation

The translation agency “Great” provides the service of notarization of translation (the verity of translator’s signature).

Translation can be notarized in two ways:

1. Notarization of a translator’s signature.

In this case the translation is bound to the original of the document or to its copy.

2. Notarization of a photocopy (copy) and a translator’s signature.

In this case the translation is bound to a document’s copy. Herewith apart from a fidelity of translation the notary also certifies that the copy corresponds to the original and places a stamp “Copy” or “Photocopy” on it.

Notarization can be applied only to official documents. Translation of private correspondence, manuals, instructions, articles and informational materials can be certified only by the agency’s seal.
