Notarized Adoption Documents Translation Requirements
For competent and relevant translation it is necessary to specify at the customer what are the requirements to the translation at the organization, in which adoption documents will be provided. In most cases, the subsequent notarial assurance (checking and assuring the authenticity) of the translator’s signature is required. If the document contains an apostille, then it is important to know whether its translation is necessary. At last, in some instances, the translation of the text of stamps on the document is required.
For the implementation of the translation according to notarization standards, it is necessary to translate precisely the structure of the text, eliminate mistakes and typos in proper names, names of institutions, addresses, figures. A number of the document can't be translated into a foreign language because of the possibility of identification.
Translation of documents by the professional translator and the subsequent assurance at the notary is legally allowed. However, for this purpose, it is necessary to observe all formal requirements of the notarized translation: to specify a translation direction, to enter the text of the assuring inscription, to specify the translator’s data and to put down the signature by hand.
Apostilization, Adoption Documents Apostille Translation
The apostille represents either separately issued page, or a stamp on the translation of the document, which confirms the authenticity and validity of the certified documentation. The apostille is an integral part of the translation; it has the registration number and is formed according to state standards of the Hague Convention Participants.
Before the translation, it is necessary to specify whether the procedure of apostilization is required and also whether the translation of the apostille into a foreign language is necessary. In case of need, the translation of the text of the document and the text of the apostille should be carried out simultaneously; after that all documentation in general should be notarially certified. If the notarized translation has been already done, but apostilization is carried out after assurance, it is necessary to translate an apostille separately and to certify the translation again.
Requirements to the Translator
The translation of the adopted documentation has to be carried out only by certified specialists in the field of law and linguistics. The professional knowledge of the legislation, legal terms, features and requirements of institutions, for which the translation is intended, is required. Otherwise, the translation is considered illegal. The translation has to be guided by standards for professional translators ISO 17100 and European standard EN 15038.
