Before preparing the translation, clarify whether a plain translation is sufficient or an agency-certified or notarised translation is required; the need for an Apostille is considered separately.

  • Translation with apostille
  • What to confirm with the receiving authority
Choosing a translation

First we determine the purpose the translation is needed for

The translation format depends not only on the language but also on where the document will be submitted. This determines whether a plain translation, agency certification, notarial certification or translation with an apostille is required.

Place of submission

A government institution, university, bank or employer may require a different translation form.

Certification

We check whether an agency certification is enough, or a notary or additional apostille is needed.

Document type

Civil status, education, legal and medical documents often require different terminology.

Document translation

We choose the translation type based on the submission purpose

In translation services, the language pair alone is not the main thing. We need to know whether the translation is for informational use, an institution in Latvia, or submission abroad.

1

Plain translation

Suitable for understanding, internal use or situations without a formal certification requirement.

2

Certified translation

Needed when the institution requires an agency or notarial certification.

3

Translation with apostille

Needed in situations where the foreign country also requires certification of the document or translation.

Translation process

How we choose the translation and type of certification

Translation is not only about the text: the target language, processing time and required type of certification also matter.

Document assessment

We determine the language pair, volume, terminology and purpose of submission.
