What is certified translation?
A certified translation is a translated official document accompanied by a signed statement from the translator attesting to the completeness and accuracy of the translation. The statement can also be notarized by a notary public. Once a translation is certified it becomes a legal record.
So, an official translation is when it is certified either by the translator, or by a translation office or a notary. We can offer all these types of translation certification.
The most popular type of translation of official documents is a certified translation as a certified translation has the same accreditation in most of the countries.
Certified/authorised translation: when providing notary certification, the translation is sewn and sealed together with the original document or notary certified copy of the original document. In order to certify the copy – the original document must also be submitted to the notary. We provide online and onsite certified translation services.

Certified and Notarized Translation in Europe from Stockholm, Sweden or Riga, Latvia
In Europe, a certified translation refers to a translation that has received certification from a proficient translator or translation agency. This certification attests that the translator has affirmed the accuracy and completeness of the translation in relation to the original document, as well as possessing the requisite qualifications to produce such a translation.
Certified translations are typically mandatory for official matters, such as the submission of documents to government agencies or courts. Additionally, they may be necessary for business or personal affairs, such as visa applications or overseas employment opportunities.
Certified translations in Europe have varying requirements by country, but there are general guidelines that apply universally. These guidelines necessitate that the translator be a native speaker of the target language, possess cultural understanding, and hold the appropriate qualifications, such as a translation degree or membership in a professional translator association.
To obtain a certified translation, individuals can reach out to qualified translators or translation agencies, who will provide guidance on the specific requirements in their country.
Certified translations are commonly needed in Europe for various situations, including visa or work permit applications, international marriages or divorces, property transactions abroad, pursuing education overseas, and submitting documents to government agencies or courts.
If you are unsure whether you need a certified translation, it is always best to err on the side of caution and get one. A certified translation can save you a lot of time and hassle in the long run.
What is Notarized Translation?
A notarized translation is a translation of a document from one language to another that has been signed and sealed by a notary public. A notary public is a public official who is authorized to verify the identity of individuals and to witness the signing of documents.
When a notary public notarizes a translation, they are not verifying the accuracy of the translation. Instead, they are verifying that the translator is who they say they are and that they signed the Certificate of Translation Accuracy.
Notarized translations are often required for official documents, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, academic transcripts, and immigration papers. They may also be required for business transactions, such as contracts and agreements.
To get a translation notarized, you will need to find a notary public who is authorized to work in the state or country where you need the translation. You can find a notary public online or at your local bank, library, or post office.
Once you have found a notary public, you will need to bring the original document and the translation to their office. The notary public will then verify your identity and ask you to sign the Certificate of Translation Accuracy. Once you have signed the certificate, the notary public will sign and seal the document.
Notarized translations can be more expensive than regular translations, but they are often required for official purposes. If you need a notarized translation, be sure to find a reputable translation agency that can provide you with a high-quality translation.

If the translation does not need notary certification or it for some reason cannot have notary certification, we can also provide a sworn translator’s certification.
Terms | Certified and Notarized Translation
Certified – This implies that a professional translator does the translation. After the translation, a representative of our office certifies that “THE TRANSLATION IS CORRECT” with a signature and the stamp of Baltic Media®.
Notarized – This is essentially the same as a certified translation, with one additional step. The translator signs the certification statement in front of a notary. Note that the notary's stamp and signature here are notarizing the certification, not the translation itself.
All languages and all types of documents
Please check with whoever you are submitting the certified translations to the level of certification required. If the answer is not clear, we try and help advise on the correct level of certification.
- Translation office certification / Certification by certified translator: the original of the document or its copy is bound together with a translation certified by a representative and/or certified translator of Baltic Media®.
- Notarized translation to the original document: the original document is bound together with a translation certified by its translator; a notary certifies the translator’s signature.
- Notarized translation to an uncertified copy of the document: a copy is made from the original document and is bound together with a translation certified by its translator; a notary certifies the translator’s signature.
- Notarized translation to a certified copy of the document: a copy is made from the original document and is bound together with a translation certified by its translator; a notary certifies the translator’s signature. The compliance of the copy (true copy) of the document is certified by a notary only, if the original document is presented; the price for copy certification depends on the number of pages in the original document.
Apostille
An apostille is essentially a certification that verifies the authenticity of a document issued in one country for use in another country that's part of the Hague Convention. The Hague Convention is an international treaty that simplifies the process for getting documents recognized abroad.
In some cases, before the translation and notary certification is done it is necessary to have the document legalised, i.e. – have its authenticity certified with an Apostille.
The apostille is issued in the country where the document was issued.
If the document was issued in Finland, the Apostille is also issued in that country. The client has to do this himself before sending both documents to us for translation.
We can only help with the Apostille for documents issued in Latvia.
What Is a Sworn Translation?
If the translation does not need notary certification or, for some reason, it cannot have notary certification, we can also provide a sworn translator’s certification.
A sworn translation allows you to keep the legality of your documents in certain countries. It is not necessarily a required type of an official translation in every country but may be obligatory for certain documents for example in Spain, Italy, France or The United States of America.
Sworn translations can only be performed by translators who have been sworn in. A sworn translation shows that the document translation is genuine. But unlike the notarized kinds, sworn translations do not have to be signed in front of a notary public. Instead, the seal of a sworn translator is enough.
The number of sworn translators is very limited, so they are not available in all languages.
We have numerous sworn translators in some of the languages at our disposal to provide the best possible service for you. Sworn translators affix their stamp on the document to authenticate their translation and give the document its official nature.
The most popular type of translation of official documents is a certified translation, as a certified translation has the same accreditation in most of the countries.
Price of a Sworn Translation
A translation by a sworn translator will often cost more than a certified translation.
At the same time, a certified translation can give a higher quality guarantee to the customer if it is done in an ISO certified company like Baltic Media®.
