Why accuracy is not enough for legal and insurance documents
In many cases, translation is not just about converting text from one language to another. For legal, insurance, and official documents, the translation must also meet specific formal requirements to be accepted by authorities.
Certified translations typically include a declaration signed by the linguist, confirming the accuracy and completeness of the translation. Depending on the country and use case, additional steps such as notarisation or legalisation may be required.
Even when the content itself is straightforward, failing to meet these formal requirements can render the document unusable. Working with experienced professionals ensures that both the linguistic and procedural aspects are handled correctly, avoiding delays or rejections.
