IISignature service
Interpreting at the signing before a notary
When a party does not speak the language of a document, the law requires that they fully understand the deed before signing it. Our interpreter is present in person at the notary’s office.
A qualified interpreter renders the text of the document and the notary’s explanations aloud, so the party understands every provision they are signing. This is the basis of informed consent.
The interpreter’s presence during the notarial act confirms that consent was given knowingly and safeguards the legal validity of the deed. Competitors rarely offer this clearly — we put it at the centre of what we do.
Book an interpreter at the notaryInformed consent
The party signs while fully understanding the content — no guesswork and no risk of misunderstanding.
Legal validity
The interpreter’s presence confirms that consent was knowing and shields the act from challenge over a language barrier.
Accuracy on the spot
Live interpreting of the document and the notary’s explanations during the act itself.
Confidence and calm
You focus on the decision, not the language: the interpreter carries the entire linguistic side of the procedure.

VIIFrequently asked
What to know about official translation
Short answers to the questions that come up most often before ordering a notarized translation, an apostille or on-site interpreting.
What is the difference between a certified and a notarized translation?
A certified translation carries the agency’s stamp and signature confirming that the translation is complete and accurate. A notarized translation additionally means a notary certifies the authenticity of the translator’s signature. Which one you need depends on the institution the document is submitted to; we will help you decide.
What is notarization of a translation and when is it required?
It is the procedure in which a notary certifies the authenticity of the translator’s signature on the translation. It is commonly required by government bodies, courts, educational institutions and foreign authorities for official documents such as certificates, diplomas, powers of attorney and contracts.
What is an apostille and how does it differ from legalization?
An apostille is a simplified authentication of an official document for countries party to the Hague Convention. For countries that are not, consular legalization applies — a multi-step procedure through the relevant authorities and a consulate. We will advise exactly what your destination country requires.
Can an interpreter attend the signing of documents at a notary’s office?
Yes. If a party does not speak the language of the document, our interpreter attends the notary’s office and renders the content of the deed and the notary’s explanations aloud. This ensures informed consent and confirms the legal validity of the act. It is one of our core services.
How is technical translation of manuals, drawings and specifications handled?
Such documents are translated by a specialist in the relevant field. We agree a single glossary, keep terminology consistent across the whole project, and preserve formatting, references and the labels on drawings.
How is terminology accuracy ensured in medical translation?
Medical documents demand particular care, because accuracy affects a person’s health. We involve translators with medical experience, verify terminology against professional sources, and keep names and abbreviations consistent.
How long does a translation take and is a rush option available?
The timeline depends on the volume, complexity and the certification required. We give a realistic deadline when quoting and keep to it. Rush turnaround is possible — let us know in advance and we will agree the terms.
Do you guarantee confidentiality of the documents provided?
Yes. We treat your documents as confidential and use them solely to carry out the translation and any certification required.
