Many official bureaus ask for notarization of your translations. In that case,
the documents that have been translated by our translators having notary
certification in the relevant notary are sent to the notary office for
notarization after the translation.
This level of certification is required for documents which are to be used
overseas with countries working in compliance with the Hague Convention. Some
of the documents coming from abroad or that shall be used abroad should pass
Apostille Certification. Examples of documents falling into this category
include marriage certificate, power of attorney, birth certificate and so on.
The process essentially involves the same steps as those for notarisation other
than the original document would be needed. The documents resulting from this
process are then sent to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. The official
acting on behalf of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office completes a final
document which confirms that the Notary signing the notarisation had the
authority in which to do so. This final document acts as proof that all legal
avenues have been completed and that the authenticity of the document should not
be contested.
