Certificate Translation and Attestation Services in India
Certified translation is needed when your document is not in the language of the destination country or authority. The translation is usually done by a certified translator, notarized, and then attested or apostilled, depending on the destination country's rules.
When do you need a translation?
- Study, work or residency in a country where the official language is not English
- Marriage, birth or police certificates for immigration or family applications
- Commercial documents for foreign courts, banks or registries
How the process works
- We review which language and format the receiving authority accepts.
- A certified translator prepares the translation.
- Notarization of the translation where required.
- Attestation or apostille, in the order the destination country asks for.
Check the order first
Some countries want the apostille on the original and the translation done afterwards, and some want the translation attested first. Some require a sworn translator in the destination country. We confirm the order before work starts, so you do not pay twice.
