Certified Translation

In Canada, certified translation plays a pivotal role in ensuring the accuracy and legality of translated documents. A certified translation is a translation that has been verified and authenticated by a certified translator or a translation agency. This process involves a rigorous review to guarantee that the translation accurately reflects the content of the original document.

Certified translations are commonly required for various official purposes, such as immigration, legal proceedings, academic admissions, and business transactions. Government agencies, educational institutions, and legal entities often demand certified translations to verify the authenticity and accuracy of foreign-language documents submitted to them. For instance, individuals applying for Canadian citizenship or permanent residency typically need to provide certified translations of their personal documents, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and academic transcripts. The same applies when newcomers need to apply for Driver’s License. Serco Canada Inc., operating as DriveTest, which is licensed by the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO), requires all driving related documents from your home country, including the Foreign Driver’s License, to be translated and certified here in Canada through a certified translator.

The primary difference between certified translation and general translation lies in the level of assurance provided regarding the accuracy and authenticity of the translated content. While general translation focuses on conveying the meaning of the source text into the target language, certified translation involves an additional layer of scrutiny and verification. Certified translators must adhere to strict standards and guidelines set forth by professional associations or regulatory bodies such as ATIO (Association of Translators and Interpreters of Ontario) to ensure the quality and reliability of their translations.

Certified translators affix their signature, stamp, or seal to the translated document, along with a declaration attesting to the accuracy of the translation. This certification serves as a guarantee that the translation is faithful to the original document and can be relied upon for its intended purpose. Moreover, certified translations may also include a statement of qualifications or credentials of the translator, further enhancing their credibility and trustworthiness.
