Imagine you have a birth certificate, marriage certificate, school diploma, or any official paper. Now, you want to use it in another country, for example, for a visa, study, or job.
You cannot just show the document in your own language. Most authorities will ask for it to be translated into their official language.
But a simple translation is not enough. The country or institution needs to trust that the translation is correct and real.
This is where a Notary Public comes in. A Notary Public has a very important role in making sure your translated documents are legal, accurate, and trusted.
Let’s explain the process in detail step by step.
1. Checking the Original Document
The first thing a Notary Public does is look at your original document.
- They check if it is real and legal
- They see if all pages and details are complete
- If anything is missing or unclear, they will ask you to correct it
Example:
If you submit a birth certificate with a missing signature or date, the notary cannot certify it. They will ask you to get the correct document.
This step is very important because a notary cannot certify fake or wrong documents.
2. Checking the Translator and the Translation
After checking the original, the notary looks at the translated version and the translator who did the work.
- They make sure the translator is qualified and experienced
- They read the translation carefully, word by word
- They check that the meaning of each word is the same as the original
- If something is wrong or unclear, they ask the translator to fix it
Example:
If a school degree says “Bachelor of Science” and the translation says “Science Graduate”, the notary may ask for correction because it must match the original exactly.
3. Certification by the Notary
Once the notary is happy with the translation, they give it an official certification.
- They stamp the document
- They sign it
- Sometimes they add a seal for extra authenticity
After this, the translated document is official. It becomes legally accepted by:
- UK authorities for immigration and visa
- Universities and colleges for study applications
- Courts or legal offices for business or property purposes
4. Keeping a Record
Many notaries keep a record of notarised translations.
- This record helps if authorities want to check the translation later
- It adds an extra layer of trust
Example:
If UK immigration needs to confirm your translated marriage certificate, the notary record helps them verify quickly.
5. Guiding You Through the Process
A good Notary Public does not just stamp documents. They guide you:
- What documents are needed
- How many copies you should submit
- How long the process will take
- Where you can use the notarised translation
This guidance helps you avoid mistakes and save time.
Why Notary Translation is Important
Without a Notary Public:
- Your translation may be rejected by authorities
- You may need to redo your documents, causing delays
- Authorities may not trust your translation
With a Notary Public:
- Your translation is official, trusted, and legal
- You can use it for visa, immigration, study, work, or legal matters
- You save time, money, and stress
Example Scenario:
If you are applying for a UK visa, submitting a non-notary translation of your birth certificate can lead to delays or rejection. A notarised translation avoids this problem entirely.
