Notarised translation
A translation completed by a notary certifying the sworn translator’s signature.
What the notary certifies
The notary does not certify that the translation is correct. They certify that the signature beneath it belongs to a registered sworn translator. Accuracy remains the responsibility of the translator and this office.
How the fee is calculated
Notarisation is charged per page under the official notaries’ tariff. It is paid to the notary, not to us: it appears as its own line in the price breakdown and no VAT is applied to it.
The original document
Notarisation usually requires the original document or a certified copy. Where that applies we tell you at the pricing stage, and your original comes back to you with the finished translation.
Timing
The notary step takes one working day, depending on how busy the office is. Same-day delivery is not possible on an order that includes notarisation or an apostille.
