Notarized Translation Facts

A notarized translation is a translation signed in front of a public notary. A Notary Public is a public servant appointed by state government to witness the signing of important documents and administer oaths. There are notaries available in every state in the US, and many can also do home signing. In most cases notaries do not verify the accuracy of translation but rather stand as a witness to the work completion. It’s important to know that public notaries are prohibited by law to make any changes to the translation or to give legal advice.
 
There are many reasons you may need to have a document notarized. Documents are notarized to deter fraud and to ensure they are properly executed. An impartial witness (the Notary) identifies signers to screen out impostors and to make sure they have entered into agreements knowingly and willingly.
 
Below are instances when you will need a notarized English translation:

• Family papers such as immigration papers, naturalization papers and adoption papers.
