Noções Básicas Tradução Certificada

No Reino Unido, uma tradução pode ser certificada por um tradutor profissional ou por uma empresa de tradução que ateste a sua exatidão. Deve ser anexada uma declaração assinada que confirme que a tradução corresponde fielmente ao documento original. Para mais informações, consulte o sítio Web do governo.

In short NO! As an individual, you cannot usually certify a translation of your own documents. Certification is typically provided by a professional translator or an authorised body to ensure impartiality and accuracy.

Certified translations are often required for official purposes where the document must be recognised by legal authorities or government agencies, such as immigration applications, court documents, and educational admissions. It ensures that the translation is accurate and can be trusted.

A certified translation typically includes the translator’s or translation company’s contact details, a statement attesting to the accuracy of the translation, a signature and date, and often includes the translator’s credentials. An official stamp or seal may also be present, along with a cover letter, especially when required by specific legal authorities or for formal purposes. This comprehensive approach ensures that the translation is recognised as valid and official by those who require it.

As traduções certificadas geralmente não têm prazo de validade. No entanto, a entidade destinatária pode exigir uma tradução recente, sobretudo se o documento original tiver sido atualizado ou alterado.

Certified translations in both the UK and the USA require a signed statement by the translator or translation company attesting to the accuracy and completeness of the translation. Certified translations from the UK are generally recognised by the USCIS as they meet or exceed the requirements.
