Filing paperwork with any government institution can be stressful and time-consuming. Let Twin Translations help you take care of one piece of the puzzle: we have many years’ experience in translating official documents into Spanish, German, and English. You can be certain that every abbreviation, acronym, and illegible stamp will be thoroughly researched and presented in a highly professional document, which will be mailed to you or delivered in person. We have worked with a trusted notary who is available to certify our translations six days a week. We have translated marriage certificates, birth certificates, transcripts, certificates of divorce, life insurance policies, criminal background checks, foreign diplomas, official correspondence from government agencies, child custody documents, etc. from many Spanish-speaking (Mexico, Spain, Cuba, Honduras, Guatemala, Argentina) and German-speaking countries.
What is a certified translation?
In the U.S., government agencies consider a translation certified if it meets the following criteria:
1) It is translated by a professional, licensed translator who is a member of translator-specific organization, such as the American Translators Association
2) It is signed by the translator (some Canadian agencies require the translation to be printed on the translator’s letterhead)
3) It is notarized by a notary public (stamp and signature)
4) It contains proper translator contact information
5) If it contains a statement by the translator saying that the translation is a true and correct translation of the original.
