1. Certified Translations
-
In the United States, a certified translation includes a certificate of accuracy signed by the translator or translation provider, attesting to the completeness and accuracy of the translation.
Certified translations are commonly used for official purposes, including submissions to courts, USCIS, and other government institutions. Requirements may vary depending on the receiving institution. If you need a certified translation for use outside the United States, please contact us so we can assist you with the applicable requirements.

You must apply for an apostille through the appropriate authority in the state or country where your document was issued. For example, a Florida birth certificate requires an apostille issued by the State of Florida. For more information, please see our article on apostilles for translations.

Apostille requirements depend on the destination country and the type of document. Public documents, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and notarized documents, may require an apostille for use abroad. Please check with the receiving authority to confirm whether an apostille is required. For more information, see our article on apostilles for foreign documents.
