Certified Translation Services & Notarisation Services
Many of us would be familiar with the terms ‘translation services’ and ‘official translation services in Singapore’. However, some of us might be scratching our heads towards the terms ‘certified translation services’ and ‘notary public in Singapore’.
You might wonder what the differences and relations between these terms are and how they affect you as an individual needing translation services. In this webpage, we will delve deeper into what it means by ‘certified translation services’ and how WhizWordz International can assist you with it.
Certified Translation Services
Generally, a certified translation refers to the act of declaring that the completed translation is an accurate and true representation of the original document. This is usually done by officially signing and authorising a statement of truth in regard to the above-mentioned matters. But how is this different from the usual general translation? Why the need for certified translation and what purpose does it serve?
Typically, certified translation services are needed when you have to submit your official documents to a government body.
Some of it is for procedures such as applying for permanent residency, jobs, school admissions and overseas travels to name a few. As such, government bodies require an official translation agency to provide certified translation services. Naturally, the best way to verify this course of action is through a certified translation.
It acts as an additional layer of confirmation that the translation has been done by a professional registered company. Thus, this is the main difference between a general translation and a certified one.
Notarisation Services
Another common term that you may find yourself stumbling into would be ‘notarisation services’. Depending on each individual’s requirements, you may or may not require this additional service. The best way to find out is to get in touch with the government body you are submitting to for the full requirements.
