How to get a translator's certification notarized online

Who signs, and which notarial act

The translator signs the certification. The person the document belongs to doesn't sign it.

Usually a jurat: the translator swears the translation is accurate and signs. The notary verifies the translator's identity and gives the oath; the notary doesn't check the translation.

Ask the recipient first

Only the person or office receiving the translator's certification can say whether an electronic notarization works for them. Ask:

• The office receiving it: do you want the translator's certification notarized, or only signed?
• Must the translator hold a particular credential?
• Do you want the original and the translation attached together?
• If it's going abroad, is an apostille needed on the notarization?

What notarization proves. It proves who signed the translator's statement under oath, not that the translation is right. Some offices (for example, U.S. immigration) want a translator's certification but don't ask for notarization; ask before paying for it. Need the translation itself? See our certified translation service.

Doing it online, step by step

1. Finish the translation. Attach the original and add the certification statement the office asks for.
2. Check the requirements. Notarized or just signed, and any credential the office wants.
3. Book the translator. Upload the translation package, unsigned.
4. Swear and sign. The notary gives the oath on video.
5. Assemble and send. Keep the original, translation and certification together as the office asks.

Mistakes that stop the session

Expecting the notary to verify the translation. The notary identifies the translator and gives the oath only.

The document owner signing as translator. Many offices won't accept a translation certified by the person it's about. Ask first.

Pages left separate. Offices often want the certification attached to every page it covers.

What it costs

$50 for the session, plus $10 for each extra signer. Any other fee shows in the booking form before you confirm. If a witness is needed, a video witness can be added in the booking form at $40 each.

Open 7 am to 9 pm ET, every day, by appointment. Have a current photo ID, a device with a camera, and the unsigned PDF.

Signing from outside the U.S.? New Jersey allows it only when the document is for a U.S. court, agency or other U.S. entity, involves property in the U.S., or relates to a transaction substantially connected with the U.S., and signing isn't prohibited where you are (N.J.S.A. 52:7-10.10). Check your document.
