What Is Included in a Certified Translation Pack?
A suitable translation pack can include complete translation of the agreed pages, a certification statement and clear identification of the translator or agency. Exact wording and formalities depend on the receiving organisation’s instructions.
Translation certification does not independently verify that a source document is genuine or guarantee acceptance by a receiving organisation.
