Our certification service delivers translations legally certified for local or international use
When submitting translations for legal purposes, you will often be asked to provide certified translations, for example when you handle banking affairs, apply for a visa at an Embassy or file documents at any other government office. Examples of such documents include academic certificates, birth certificates, financial statements, medical records, and others.
In our experience, Hong Kong government departments are rather inconsistent regarding their certification requirements. So it is important that you ask the government department where you are filing the translation what exactly their requirements are.
We offer two different types of certifications:
a) Company certification, and
b) Sworn declaration
We can also, on your behalf, arrange for a legal translation to be notarized by a notary public or a solicitor, as may be required by certain authorities and governmental agencies
The company certification is a printed certificate of accuracy on company letterhead that is signed by a representative of our company and stamped with our company chop. This certificate is attached to the printout of the translation, stating that the translation is true and accurate.
The sworn declaration is processed through the Hong Kong Government Department. Our company director appears personally at the government office where he presents the translation and declares under oath that the translation is true and accurate. The commissioner of oath will issue an officially signed and stamped declaration document attached to the translation.
Generally we do NOT need the original documents. It is sufficient if you make a copy, scan and email it to us.
