Certified Translation of Personal Documents: For Emigrating Overseas & Foreigners Immigrating to India
Immigration, education, and legal purposes need certified translation—whether you are an Indian national traveling overseas or a foreign national traveling to India. Governments on either side are not simply seeking translated documents, but certified one, signed, attested, and delivered in a format dictated by embassies, colleges, and legal jurisdictions.
What is a Certified Translation?
A certified translation is a translation performed by a competent person or agency with a signed document verifying:
- The completeness and accuracy of the translation
- The date of seal and certification
This kind of translation is usually required by:
- Immigration authorities (e.g., USCIS, IRCC, UKVI)
- International universities
- Government ministries
- Legal institutions
Certified Translation for Indian Nationals Going Abroad
If you are an Indian citizen seeking a visa, admission to a university, residency permit, or a foreign job, your original documents, usually in Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, or other Indian languages, have to be professionally translated into French, English, German, or some other official language of the destination nation
Typical situations necessitating certified translation:
Student, Work, Tourist, or PR Visa Applications
