Certified Legal Translation

THE QUESTION IS: DO I NEED A LEGAL OR A CERTIFIED TRANSLATION?

Koinós S.C.C.L. offers certified and legal translation and court interpreting, but certified and legal translations are not to be mixed up:

The authority requesting a translation will tell you whether or not you need a certified translation.

If no official certification is required, it will be a legal translation carried out by expert translators, specialising in law.

Certified Translations for Other Countries

Koinós: Legal Interpretation and Translation

In this case we are referring to a field of specialisation: namely Law.

These translations are carried out by translators and interpreters who specialise in law and legal terminology, either because they have studied law or because they have a long experience in the legal sector.
However, they are not required to be certified translators and interpreters.

A certified translation can only be done by a registered translator who is an expert in adapting your documents to the specific legal requirements of the country where it will be used. To ensure the legal validity of the translation, you should ask the foreign authorities whether they require a legally certified translation or whether they will accept a translation that is not certified by a registered translator. If you need a certified translation or a court interpreter in another country, at Koinós we have a network of professional colleagues in other countries, and we’ll be happy to get you in touch.
