Notarised Translation Services

Locate Translate offers a 2-3 days standard turnaround or an express turnaround of 24 hours. However, both options will be mainly reliant on the number of words and level of certification required. We advise our clients to certify their documents in advance before proceeding with Notarization.

Each authority and country have different requirements. It is advisable that you check with the authority requesting the translation of what level of certification they will require. Locate Translate can check this for you as long as all details are provided.

We cannot provide you with a declaration on any translation that we have not carried out ourselves. Therefore we need to re-translate the document. If however the original document is already in the required language and you only need the service of a Solicitor or Notary Public, please contact us and discuss your requirements directly.

When utilizing British documents abroad for business or personal purposes, it may be necessary to undergo a process of legalization or obtain an Apostille (an authenticity stamp) for official recognition and acceptance. The legalisation or Apostille provided by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office serves as a guarantee of the authenticity of the translated document. In English, the term ‘Apostille’ is commonly used to denote the process of legalizing a document for international use. Currently, most documents originating from the United Kingdom can undergo legalization as long as they bear the original signature, stamp, or seal from an authorized UK public entity. In certain cases, photocopies of specific documents may also be accepted. For further information, please feel free to inquire with us.

In certain jurisdictions, it is a requirement to notarize commercial or personal documents that have been translated or originated from another country in order to obtain legal recognition. To fulfill this requirement, a Notary Public will attach a notarial certificate to validate the accuracy and authenticity of the translation. Typically, notarization is completed on the same day, although the timeframe may vary depending on the volume and complexity of the documents. Our comprehensive notary translation services cater to both individual customers and businesses, offering a prompt, efficient, and top-quality service.

This kind of Translation is normally accepted in the UK by most Authorities.
