Green Crescent offers a standard certification, available upon request. A sample is provided below for your review.
Our certification has been widely accepted by courts and government authorities worldwide. However, please be aware that there is no universal legal standard governing translation certifications, which can result in varying definitions of what constitutes an "official" or "certified" translation. We recommend consulting the relevant authority to ensure our certification meets your specific requirements.
Notary Public services are available for an additional fee. Hard copies can be mailed via standard or expedited service for an extra charge.
A note about apostille
An "apostille" is a certification method established by the 1961 Hague Convention to authenticate documents for use in foreign countries. For countries not part of the Hague Convention, documents can still be "authenticated" or "certified" by an official government authority.
It’s important to note that apostille, authentication, and certification in this context apply only to the original, untranslated document. Their purpose is to allow the issuing government to confirm the authenticity of the original document for the receiving government.
This process is separate from translation certification. While an apostille verifies the authenticity of the original document, a translation certification—like the one provided by Green Crescent—confirms that the translation accurately reflects the content of the original text.
Green Crescent cannot provide apostille services, as only recognized government entities can issue them. Additionally, translations themselves cannot receive an apostille, as they are not government-issued documents. Instead, our certificate of translation serves as a sworn statement from a qualified professional, verifying the accuracy and reliability of the translation.
