Certified and notarial translation

Personal and corporate materials

Start with the actual receiving requirements. List original records, the notarial text, attachments, seals and supplementary pages, then confirm languages, layout and supporting work.

Typical materials

• Identity and family evidence: household registers, birth and marriage documents, police clearance and related records.
• Education and professional records: graduation, qualification and degree evidence, transcripts, employment records and CVs.
• Financial and corporate materials: bank statements, income evidence, reports, business records, articles, authorisations and agreements.
• Notarial documents and attachments: certified matters, reference numbers, parties and the relationship to the attached source.

Receiving requirements and supporting work

Explain the purpose, receiving body and any written format or certification requirements. Define the translated files, translator statements, signatures, seals, paper copies and company information separately.

Where notarisation, an Apostille or another authentication step is relevant, confirm the receiving requirements and procedural route before agreeing any separate arrangements. Translation and procedural work are distinct items in the service scope.

Professional checks

• List the main text, attached records, seals and supplementary pages to establish completeness.
• Check the relationship between reference numbers, individuals, certified matters and attachments.
• Define the language work and any separate procedural arrangements according to the intended use.

Check names, companies, institutions, dates, numbers and relationships across related records. Identify incomplete or unclear material before work, preserve source limitations and coordinate review against the agreed references.

Professional service framework

The SENIOR TRANS framework includes ISO 9001:2015 quality management, ISO 17100:2015 translation services and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 information security management. The credential holder, scope and project-specific supporting records can be checked before engagement.

A clear process at every stage

1. 01

   Define the purpose

   Specify files, languages, volume, receiving requirements and timing.

2. 02

   Agree the plan

   Confirm scope, references, review responsibilities, supporting work and delivery.

3. 03

   Translate and review

   Use subject references and check terms, numbers, tables and versions.

4. 04

   Deliver and coordinate

   Deliver the agreed files, consolidate feedback and confirm later updates.

Delivery, price and timing

Price and timing are assessed against language direction, word or page volume, subject matter, source clarity, editability, layout, review and supporting requirements. Changes to the source, languages or supporting work require a revised scope and plan.

Agree Word, PDF, Excel, subtitle or other formats, including any editable files, paper copies, statements or signatures actually needed. Supporting arrangements are defined for the particular purpose and receiving requirements.
