Certified translations by comtexto
How translations become legally binding documents
Certified translations are often required for official use by Swiss or foreign authorities and institutions. The certification itself can be done in different ways and depends on the requirements of the country of destination and the purpose of use.
Certified translations
For which documents are certified translations required?
What are the different types of certified translation?
A specific form of certification may be required depending on the document and the requirements of the country of destination.
Simple certification
If a simple certification is needed, comtexto certifies that the translation has been carried out correctly to the best of its knowledge and belief. The certified translation is an exact and legally binding translation of the source document. Even errors in the original must not be corrected in the target language. Simple certification is sufficient for most of the documents listed.
Notarial certification
In order to obtain notarial certification, the documents translated and certified by us are notarised, or certified a second time, by a notary. The notary does not check the content of the translation, but merely authenticates the signature of our translator. A notarised translation is usually recognised by all Swiss authorities.
Apostille
In addition to notarial certification, some documents from foreign authorities require further certification in the form of a notarisation or an apostille from a cantonal state chancellery.
