Certified Japanese Translation – All you need to know to NOT get your application REJECTED

Translation itself is, unfortunately, a mystery to most folks. 

   
(I know: After more than a decade in the industry, I still see folks confusing the basics, like the difference between translation and interpretation)

Then there’s certified translation, which people only become aware of when the embassy, or some other governmental organizations, requires it in order to process personal legal documents for, for example, a visa application or immigration.

Here’ a very informative and useful article mini-series that takes the mystery out of what exactly certified translation entails. Some of the topics covered: 

• What Is A Japanese Certified Translation?
• Certified translation - Where do I start?
• Certified Translation: Is the Statement of Certification signed or stamped?
• Certified Translation: Who’s listed on the Statement of Certification?
• Do I need certified AND notarized Translation?
• Certified translation: Will my application be approved?
• Certified Translation: Translated but not certified
