This is true. A certified translation is any document that\u2019s been signed by the translator and \u2018certified\u2019 to be accurate. More often than not, documents that are translated like this include both the original and the translated copy. But when do you need a certified translation, and what documents may require this?<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-27311 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/translationsingapore.com\/zh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Having-difficulty-deciding-which-document-to-translate-and-certify-1024x1024-1-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/translationsingapore.com\/zh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Having-difficulty-deciding-which-document-to-translate-and-certify-1024x1024-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/translationsingapore.com\/zh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Having-difficulty-deciding-which-document-to-translate-and-certify-1024x1024-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/translationsingapore.com\/zh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Having-difficulty-deciding-which-document-to-translate-and-certify-1024x1024-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/translationsingapore.com\/zh\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Having-difficulty-deciding-which-document-to-translate-and-certify-1024x1024-1-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>When and Where Do You Require Certified Translation?<\/h2>\n<p>Documents that require a certified translation often fall under the category of legal paperwork, such as documents that are required by a legal body or institution. Common examples of documents requiring\u00a0certified translation\u00a0are those for immigration. The legal documents of an immigrant are often written in the person\u2019s native language, and to be accepted by the immigration office, these need to be properly translated and certified. The accuracy is crucial as it involves laws, which often need to be interpreted literally.<\/p>\n<p>In immigration, for example, certified translated documents are necessary for things like residency or even something like a temporary visitor\u2019s permit. Other examples that require certified translations are universities and colleges \u2013 especially if the institution is in a different country. Because your school diplomas and the like are often written in the original language, it\u2019s necessary that these are translated accurately.<\/p>\n<h3>Certified Translation and Normal Translation<\/h3>\n<p>Now you may be wondering why you need to have a professional translate a document when you can do it yourself. Because the documents in question often deal with intricate subjects (such as legal paperwork), it\u2019s important that the translation is as accurate as possible. Take law, for example. There are some statutes and <a href=\"https:\/\/translationsingapore.com\/zh\/translation-and-localization-solution-for-the-legal-industry\/\">legal<\/a> descriptions that are not literal and need interpretation. A professional translator has knowledge of what these are, and will then translate it properly to the right <a href=\"https:\/\/translationsingapore.com\/zh\/language-we-translate\/\">language<\/a>. Discounting the fact that most legal bodies and schools do not accept non-certified translations, you are placing a huge risk if you translate your important documents on your own. It may affect the success of your application and even get you in trouble.<\/p>\n<p>At<a href=\"https:\/\/translationsingapore.com\/zh\/\"> Lingua Technologies International<\/a>, we provide certified translation for your varying needs.
