Certified Translation

Signed, professional translations accepted internationally.

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.

What a certified translation from Fluid includes

  • Carried out by an experienced, accredited qualified translator
  • Reviewed by a second linguist in line with our quality procedures
  • Signed with an electronic or handwritten signature to confirm accuracy
  • Accompanied by a formal translation certificate

When is a certified translation required?

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:

  • Business documents: articles of association, certificates of registration, company acquisition paperwork
  • Legal documents that do not require full authorisation but need a signed certificate
  • Applications to foreign universities
  • Residence permit and visa applications
  • Employment documents, diplomas, and degree certificates

Authorised vs certified: which do you need?

Many countries do not use authorised translator systems, and not all language pairs are covered. 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.
