Apostille and Sworn Translation Services at Notary Nepal

At Notary Nepal, we specialize in certified translations, notary certifications, and Apostille services. These services are vital for anyone needing official documents recognized internationally, especially in countries that are part of the Hague Convention.

What Is an Apostille?

An Apostille is an internationally recognized certification that authenticates the legitimacy of a document for use in another country. As part of the Hague Convention, this process simplifies the legalization of documents across borders. It confirms the validity of a public document, ensuring it is accepted abroad without requiring further authentication.

For instance, if you have a document issued in Finland and need it abroad, the Apostille must be obtained in Finland. Before proceeding with the translation and notary certification, you must secure the Apostille in the country where the document was issued.

At Notary Nepal, we assist with Apostille services for documents issued in Nepal, ensuring they meet the requirements for recognition in countries part of the Hague Convention. For documents issued outside of Nepal, like in Finland or Latvia, clients need to obtain the Apostille from their country before submitting them for translation.

What Is a Sworn Translation?

A sworn translation is one certified by a translator who has been sworn in by a legal authority. Unlike notarized translations, sworn translations do not require signing in front of a notary public. Instead, the sworn translator's official seal or stamp verifies the document’s authenticity.

Sworn translations are accepted as legally binding in many countries. They are particularly required in Spain, France, Italy, and the United States for specific types of documents. However, sworn translators are not available in every language due to their limited number.

At Notary Nepal, we work with a trusted network of sworn translators to provide the highest standard of service. Our translators ensure your documents are accurate and legally compliant, and we make sure they meet the requirements of the countries you are targeting.

Certified vs. Sworn Translation

While both certified and sworn translations are used for official purposes, there are distinctions:

• Certified Translation: This includes a signed statement from the translator verifying that the translation is complete and accurate. Certified translations are widely accepted in most countries.

• Sworn Translation: Completed by a sworn translator, this type of translation carries the translator's stamp, giving it legal authority in countries requiring sworn translations.

Sworn translations may cost more than certified translations due to the added legal authority. However, they are essential for specific legal and governmental purposes.
