Why is a certified translation required?
CERTIFICATES
Certificates are defined as legally binding, written documents that certify and confirm a fact. Documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce certificates, death certificates are used in both public and private settings: They are issued by an authority or public official who guarantees the authenticity of the document.
In several situations a document in the original language is not sufficient, particularly when dealing with courts and authorities in foreign countries. As a rule, official translations are necessary. Foreign authorities generally only recognize certificates and other documents from another country if they have certified translations.
For example, if you move abroad, you will require a certified translation of your birth certificate, or the foreign registry office will ask for a certified translation of your marriage certificate.
In some cases, an apostille is required in addition to the certified translation for your documents to be accepted by authorities abroad.
