Many institutions, most commonly governmental and educational, require certified translation of legal documents for different processes. These translations must be done by professionals registered with national or state-level associations of translators, which usually issue certifications to some of their members based on a rigorous selection process. Acceptable certifications may vary from country to country and some times are different for various institutions, for this reason it is important to look for a translator in your geographical area.

In the case of the United States and Canada, there are various associations of translators, with jurisdiction over a particular state or province, and national organizations like the American Translators Association (ATA) and the Canadian Translators, Terminologist and Interpreters Council (yes, CTTIC), which aim to represent translation professionals and promote quality standards and communication between translators. Certifications issued by these organizations are usually accepted by most institutions; certified translators are usually given a registration number, which allows the institution to corroborate their competence.

For certain judicial proceedings, a translation by a court certified translator may be required, in which case you should try to find a professional certified within the same jurisdiction. It is always good to ask if a certified translation is required; in many cases you can go for an affidavit of translation, which is an statement by the translator that says that the translation is true and accurate to the best of his/her knowledge and ability, signed by a Notary Public and including the translator’s contact information.
