Translation and notarization

[gladaki]

I have question regarding following instruction :

Assuming I have birth certificate in Hindi and translator converted it in English. According to instructions :

Translation of documents
Any document that is not in English or French must be accompanied by:
•
the English or French translation; and
•
an affidavit from the person who completed the translation; and
•
a certified copy of the document.


What is certified copy of document ?

Is this my hindi birth certificate which is notarized ?

thx

Hi Gladaki,

A certified copy is a copy of a document, (Birth Certificate, Death Certificate, Marraige Certificate, etc.), that the copy is from the originating source, i.e. County Clerk's office or a goverment agency.

So Notarized document is verifying your signature; certified copy is an original copy from where the document was published.

I hope this explanation will help ;D

@Gladaki

Please refer to the Instruction guide , it is more reliable than this forum sometimes.

Below is what i copied from the official instruction guide:

Certified true copies

To have a photocopy of a document certified, an authorized person must compare the original document to the photocopy and must print the following on the photocopy:

“I certify that this is a true copy of the original document”,
the name of the original document,
the date of the certification,
his or her name,
his or her official position or title, and
his or her signature.
Who can certify copies?

Persons authorized to certify copies include the following:

In Canada:

a commissioner of oaths
a notary public
a justice of the peace
Outside Canada:

a judge
a magistrate
a notary public
an officer of a court of justice
a commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the country in which the person is living
Family members may not certify copies of your documents.

Thanks guys, excuse me for my confusion...

But my question is :

I need to get my translation (English document ) notarized or I need to get photocopy of hindi document notarized...

From your answers what I am getting is "I need to get photocopy of original (hindi ) document notarized"

You need to get a translation (to English or French) of the document which is in HINDI

From your answers what I am getting is "I need to get photocopy of original (hindi ) document notarized"

Photo copy of the document that is in HINDI and it has to be certified

Thanks

Yes, you need to get a certified photocopy of the original (Hindi) document (there is a difference between a notarized document and a certified copy, although many people use the terms interchangeably).

You need to submit the original copy of the English translation, along with the translator's affidavit (which has to be notarized).
