A certified translation is often required, for example when applying for visas or residence permits, in the case of naturalization or citizenship, or when documents need to be submitted to authorities, government agencies or courts. Our experienced translation company will accurately translate your travel document, stamp and sign it, and officially certify it. This means you can be sure that your translation will be accepted by official authorities etc. Please note that some countries also require an apostille or legalisation and we are happy to assist you with this as well.
