What are certified translations?

The definition and procedure for certifying translations can vary from country to country. In general, translations are carried out by a sworn translator. The translator confirms with a signed declaration or stamp that the translation is an accurate and correct reproduction of the original and that he or she has the necessary linguistic skills. This certification acts as a certificate of authenticity for the translated document.
