What is a certified translation?

 

A certified translation (also called a sworn or official translation) is a translation performed by a certified court translator authorized by the Judicial Branch in Mexico. It includes a signature, seal, and official registration, guaranteeing that the document is accurate and valid before the authorities.

 

Who can issue certified translations?

 

In Mexico, only certified court translators are authorized to issue this type of translation. These professionals are officially accredited to provide legal validity to documents in another language.

 

What are they used for?

 

Certified translations are required whenever a document needs official recognition, such as:

 

• Immigration procedures

• Civil documents (birth, marriage, divorce, death certificates)

• Academic records and diplomas

• Contracts and legal documents

• Judicial or administrative procedures

• Consular or embassy processes

 

In addition, they are accepted in other countries and by various international authorities, depending on the type of procedure and the specific requirements of each institution.
