A certified translation is signed by a qualified professional translator or agency to confirm that it is accurate and complete. This differs from an authorised translation — certified translations are accepted in countries and for language combinations where no authorised translation system exists.
Certified translations are used when foreign authorities, universities, or organisations require a signed translation but where an authorised translator is either unavailable or unnecessary. Common uses include:

Certified translation is an internationally recognised alternative that covers cases where authorised translation is not available or required. If you are unsure which applies to your document, contact us and we will advise.
