Legal translation services are needed every day in a variety of sectors, including real estate, law enforcement, financial services, and more. Legal cases often involve foreign companies or individuals and thus, documents in a foreign language. These must be translated into English in order to use them in a court of law or for the law firm or their clients to be able to understand the facts about a particular case. Translating legal documents helps all parties understand the information in a common language. Below, we will discuss types of legal translations.
Reasons to Translate Legal Documents
Lawsuits: Some legal proceedings require the translation of legal documents. CSH Translation can provide certified translations that can be used in any US court of law.
Immigration: The USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) requires the translation of any documents in a foreign language into English for immigration to the United States. For example, the translation of a Portuguese birth certificate into English will be required in order for the USCIS to accept it. For more information about USCIS translations, please click here.
Real estate: When purchasing or selling real estate, some documents may need to be translated to or from English. These may include a purchase agreement translation, power of attorney translation, lease agreement translation and others.
Banking: Banks are subject to strict regulations and must ensure compliance to avoid legal issues for the institution. A common area for translation includes BSA/AML (Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering) compliance.
Legal Documents: Legal documents are used in many different situations. These may include agricultural contract translations, service level agreement translations, last will and testament translations, employment agreement translations, articles of association translation, articles of incorporation translation, memorandum of understanding translation and others. It is important for all parties to understand the information being provided therein to ensure a smooth transaction.
CSH Translation specializes in legal translations and financial translations. Legal documents often contain highly technical language, which is why it is important to hire a translation company that is specialized in legal terminology.
