Translation of documents - is affidavit mandatory?

[snow_walker]

Hi,

I have the translated and notarized copy of my marriage certificate. But I do not have the "an affidavit from the person who completed the translation". I was wondering, if I have the notarized copy of the certificate with notary stamp, seal & signature do I still need to get the affidavit?

Waiting for your opinion.

thanks.

Better to get it. Dont know what will be the outcome if you dont include it. Its just a simple document on plain paper with his/her stamp, signature and declaration.

Though might not be important, but, if you are arranging for everything else, why leave this one out.

In addition to the Notary's seal and signature at least he should write or type "certified that I compared the original with this copy and it is genuine" - The wording can be different but almost similar meaning.

will it be enough to get the affidavit on a "plain paper"? or it should be printed on non-judicial stamps?
