Notarized Translation in Estonia
When someone searches for a notarized translation in Tallinn, they are usually not concerned with terminology, but with the result: Will the documents be accepted without revisions? This is what ultimately determines which translation format is needed in each specific case.
What Is a Notarized Translation
A notarized translation is a format where the translation is prepared by a translator, a notary verifies the identity of the translator, the notary checks the translator’s qualifications, the document is certified with a notarial seal. It is important to understand that a notary does not verify the translation line by line, but confirms that the translation has been performed by a qualified person. This is the key legal function of notarization.
Where Notarized Translation Is Used
Notarized translations are most commonly used when documents are intended for use abroad or are submitted to authorities in other countries (for example, Russia)
This format may also be used when preparing documents for submission to various institutions in Estonia, including government authorities.
At the same time, it is important to note that the requirements may vary depending on the country, institution, procedure, and type of document
In practice, this means that one situation may require one format, another situation may require a different type of certification. The same document may require different formats depending on where it is submitted. It is also important to consider in advance whether an apostille in Estonia is required.
