Notarized translation: what is it and for what documents is it used?
Notarized translation is an important component of the activities aimed at legalization of documents in another country. The expansion of international relations, work, study, treatment of citizens abroad, their moving to permanent residence in other countries - this is not a complete list of situations in which legal entities and individuals may urgently need a notarized translation of certain documents.
A notarized translation is understood to mean any kind of translation performed by a qualified translator with the authority to do this, that is followed by certification of the linguist's signature by a notary.
Two specialists are involved in the preparation of a notarized translation. They are translator and notary. According to the legislation of Ukraine notary certifies the authenticity of the signature of the person who performed the translation, in his personal presence, but does not confirm the correctness of the translation of the original document. Correct transmission of the meaning of the document is the sole responsibility of the translator.
