For these documents, accuracy extends beyond the narrative. The translated version should distinguish the declarant’s words from jurat wording, court or notarial headings, exhibits and signatures. The source must not be rewritten to imply that the translator has administered an oath.
An affidavit, a statutory declaration and a witness statement are not interchangeable. The translation should follow the source document’s own designation, distinguish the declarant’s statement from any jurat or attestation, and reproduce numbered paragraphs, exhibit identifiers, page references and dates without changing their legal significance.
Where a statement refers to an attachment, provide the exhibit cover sheet and the relevant pages so that cross-references can be checked. Certification of the translation is separate from the act of swearing or witnessing the original document; the solicitor or receiving authority should confirm whether any further formality is needed. For a related decision attached to the evidence, see court order translation.
A statement may be accompanied by numbered paragraphs, referenced evidence or an exhibit schedule. Providing all relevant pages helps maintain consistent terminology and cross-references. Legal counsel or the receiving body should confirm whether a certified translation, translator’s statement or another procedure is required.
Read about certified translation and document translation to understand the available formats. For formal legal use, see legal translation.
State the language pair, receiving country, whether the document is filed in court and any deadline. We can review the document’s length, format, handwriting and terminology before confirming a quotation.
Notarisation and apostille are distinct from translation and may depend on where the document will be used. You can explore notarised translation and apostille translation for background, then confirm the requirements with the receiving organisation.
Provide clear images or files, the source and target languages, intended use and deadline. We can review the document before proposing the appropriate translation scope.
