We often get orders for translating important documents from one language to another. This is a vital service that enables a document issued in one country to be used in another. English is the official language in a wide variety of countries, and is found in the Americas (in the United States, Canada, as well as many Caribbean nations, Belize, and Guyana), Europe (in the United Kingdom and Ireland), Africa (in former British colonies such as South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya), Asia (former British colonies such as India and Pakistan, as well as the formerly US-administered Philippines), and Oceania (in Australia, New Zealand, and many Polynesian islands). If you intend to use a US-issued document in a country where English is not the official language, or you have a document originating from such a country, you would need to translate it.
Most government agencies and private entities require the translation to be certified, meaning that the translator would need to certify, under the penalty of perjury that they are fluent in the original and target language and that the translation was performed as accurately as possible and to the best of their ability. Some agencies and companies also require the translator’s signature to be notarized by a notary public. In some cases, if you intend to use the translation abroad, the notarized translation will need to be duly apostilled or legalized at the destination country’s embassy or consulate.
A&M Logos International has access to over a hundred different translators providing translation services to almost any language in the world. We will take care of getting it certified, notarized, or apostilled as necessary, and we work with the embassy or consulate of your destination country if the translation needs to be legalized or confirmed as accurate at the consular level.
