Modlingua provides certified translation services in New Delhi for all major Indian and foreign languages. A certified translation is a translated document accompanied by a signed and stamped certificate from the translator or translation company confirming that the translation is accurate and complete. Embassies, immigration authorities, universities and government agencies in India and abroad accept Modlingua's certified translations.
What is a certified translation?
A certified translation is an official translation of a document that comes with a formal certificate of accuracy. The translator or an authorized signatory of the translation company signs and stamps a statement confirming that the translated document is a true and accurate rendering of the original. This certification makes the translation legally valid for submission to diplomatic missions, government bodies, universities, courts and other official authorities.
What does a Modlingua certified translation include?
Every certified translation from Modlingua broadly comprises four sections/stages:
- Original/true copy of the source document to be translated.
- True and professional translation of the source document.
- A duly signed and stamped certificate, issued by the translator or an authorized signatory from the translation company, certifying and attesting that the translated document is an accurate and genuine translation of the original source document, followed by the seal of the company.
- Authentication of the documents by the Indian Translators Association (ITAINDIA), the only professional body of translators in India, duly recognized by the world's apex body, the International Federation of Translators (FIT), Switzerland, which connects more than 110 translation associations from 72 countries.
Which documents need certified translation?
Personal and legal documents usually need official certification when they are submitted to foreign authorities. Common examples include:
- Birth, marriage and death certificates
- Diplomas, degrees and academic transcripts
- Legal documents, contracts and affidavits
- Immigration and visa documents
Diplomatic missions, government agencies and universities frequently require certified translations. For example, Canadian immigration authorities demand an affidavit for a translation, and the Medical Council of Canada requires the translation to be done by a certified member of the International Federation of Translators. Modlingua takes care of all such requirements: high-quality translations, timely delivery, strict accuracy levels, and preparation of the affidavit required by Canadian immigration, the Medical Council of Canada, or the diplomatic missions of the UK, USA, Australia and European countries.
Certified translation in India: what you should know
Unlike many other countries, India has no nodal body or authority for licensing or certification of translators and translation agencies. Modlingua, as one of the founder members of the Indian Translators Association, works in close cooperation with diplomatic missions and government agencies, and regularly delivers translations that are at par with certified translation and fully accepted as official translations not only in India but across the globe. Under specific circumstances, some diplomatic missions demand certified translations from their respective countries; Modlingua, with its global network of translators, facilitates these as well.
Notary, attestation and apostille services
If required, Modlingua also gets translated documents notarized by a Notary. This adds to the authenticity of the signatures on the translated documents under the concept called "Oath" / "Buena Fe" / "Good Faith" and serves as an affidavit. We also facilitate embassy and government approved translation, Notary, Attestation, Apostille and quality language services.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a certified and a notarized translation?
A certified translation carries a signed certificate of accuracy from the translator or translation company. A notarized translation goes one step further: a Notary verifies and attests the signature on that certificate, adding legal weight to the document.
Are Modlingua's certified translations accepted by embassies?
Yes. Modlingua's certified translations are accepted by diplomatic missions including those of the UK, USA, Australia and European countries, as well as authorities such as Canadian immigration and the Medical Council of Canada.
Which languages does Modlingua cover?
Modlingua provides certified translation services in all major Indian languages and foreign languages, through its professional network of qualified translators in India and abroad.
