What to check before ordering a certified translation

  • The format the receiving office accepts. A certified translation carries a certificate from the translator. A notarised translation adds a notary, who witnesses the translator’s signature. Certifying that a translation is accurate is a notarial act under Article 38 of the Law of Georgia on Notaries.
  • Whether the quote includes the notary. Delta Translation Group invoices notarisation on top of the translation, TARGMANEBI adds 15 GEL, and Georgia Assistant’s 250 GEL page price already covers notarisation and an apostille.
  • Where the document is going. An apostille is accepted in states party to the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961. Other countries need legalisation, first by the Public Service Development Agency and then by the Consular Department of Georgia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, followed by the destination country’s embassy or consulate.
  • The copy you need to hand in. Ask whether the receiving office wants the stamped paper original or accepts a scan. Firms on this list offer emailed scans, office collection, courier delivery and post abroad in different combinations.
