When official documents (diplomas, contracts, powers of attorney, etc.) need to be used internationally or in a different language, the translation must be both error-free and legally valid. The notary-approved translation process is what provides this "secure and official" status. So, what steps does this process consist of, and how does it secure your documents? Here is everything you need to know.
4 Key Steps for a Secure Process
Notary-approved translation is a procedure with carefully planned steps. As Tercümentral, we manage every step of this process for you transparently and securely.
- Step 1: Application to a Professional Office and Document Analysis It all starts when you submit your document to a professional translation office like Tercümentral. Your document is analyzed based on its content (legal, commercial, academic), and the most suitable subject-matter expert sworn translator is assigned to your project. This first step ensures your project is in the right hands from the very beginning.
- Step 2: Translation by an Expert Sworn Translator Your document is translated from the source language to the target language by the assigned expert sworn translator, staying true to all the meaning and formatting features of the original text. This stage guarantees the accuracy of the content and the flawlessness of the terminology.
- Step 3: Quality Control (Editing) and Translator's Certification After the translation is complete, it is carefully read by a second expert editor. This editing process gives the text its final form by eliminating any potential grammatical errors or overlooked details. Then, the sworn translator signs and stamps the translation, legally taking responsibility for its accuracy.
- Step 4: Formalizing the Process with Notary Certification In the final step, the document certified by the translator is presented to the notary. The notary verifies the identity and authority of the translator and then certifies the document. This notary certification formalizes your translation and makes it legally valid before all public institutions and organizations in Turkey.
As you can see, the notary-approved translation process adds a layer of security to your document at every step. Tercümentral professionally handles all these steps for you, leaving you with the comfort of sitting back and receiving your secure and official documents.
