How to choose the right translation format

We do not determine the service from its name alone. We first review the document, clarify the destination country and take the receiving authority’s requirements into account if the client provides them.

Plain translation

Useful for internal use or situations without official certification requirements.

Certified translation

Used when an institution asks for agency or notarial certification.

Translation with apostille

Needed when a document and an officially prepared translation must be submitted abroad.

Translation format

Choose the right translation certification level

In some cases a standard translation is sufficient; official submission may require agency certification or notarial certification. The type of certification is determined by the receiving authority’s requirements.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the Russian Embassy accept documents in Latvian?

The Consular Section usually accepts documents in Russian, so documents in another language require a translation.

Can the document be sent remotely?

For an initial assessment you can send a photo or PDF, but to complete the order the original documents usually must be submitted at the office.

Where is the PFAT office located?

The original documents can be brought to the office at Baznīcas iela 39, Riga.

Could the translation also need an apostille?

In addition to translation, submission may require an Apostille, legalisation or notarisation. If the receiving authority has set such requirements, send them with the document.

When is a notarised translation needed?

A notarised translation is needed when the institution requires an officially certified translation rather than a simple text translation. We check the required certification before processing the order.
