Cases where you do NOT need a notarized translation

While many people believe that they need to have their documents for immigration applications translated and notarized, USCIS actually does not require the translation of foreign language documents to be notarized. For immigration purpose you only need a certified translation. In addition, courts in California do not require foreign language documents to be accompanied by a notarized translation. They only request a certified translation by a court approved translator.

Myths about Notarized Translations

-Despite popular belief that a notarized translation guarantees accuracy of translations, a notarized translation simply means that the translator or the translation company’s representative who signs the certification does so before a notary public. Consequently, the purpose of the acknowledgement form is probably just to verify the identity of the translator or translation firm’s agent. It does not suggest that the translation is correct or complete as notaries do not necessarily speak the source language. Even if the notaries speak the source language, they cannot modify the acknowledgement form to reflect that.

-Many people believe that they can get a notarized translation from notaries. Notaries are not necessarily bilinguals or possess translation skills. Even if they are professional translators, they probably cannot notarize their own translations. Likewise, translators are not necessarily notaries too. To get a notarized translation, you can contact a translation services company such as California Center for Translation & Interpretation.

I’m Ready! How Do I Begin?

If you are ready to get a notarized translation, please follow these simple steps:

-Determine what documents have to get translated, certified, and notarized.

Medical translation services in Los Angeles

Many hospitals, clinics, and medical offices in Los Angeles admit international patients who do not speak English or need to have their medical documents translated into English. The translation of international patients’ documents such as medical records, prescriptions, doctor’s notes, and test results are often very important to offices that do not have their own multilingual staff onsite. They render translation services to review the patients’ medical record, diagnose the medical condition, and prescribe medication or carry out the right medical procedures. Medical translators who focus on the translation of such documents remove language barriers for medical offices in United States that need to review their international patients’ medical records in the English language. Likewise, medical interpreters accompany patients to their appointments, clinical visits, and treatments. They facilitate communications between English speaking physicians and patients from other parts of the world. They may also assist international patient coordinators in scheduling and rescheduling appointments for patients who do not speak English.

Why medical translation matters

Hospitals that take medical tourists often rely on the works of medical translators when they review foreigners’ medical records. They usually have to know the medical history of international patients in order to make recommendations and prescribe medication. Without access to the English translations of international patients’ medical records, U.S. hospitals would probably face difficulty providing medical advice and diagnosis to international patients. Many professionals in the medical field ask patients from foreign countries to submit the certified translation of their medical documents. Our medical translators who have extensive experience in the industry truly understand the importance of clear translations in medical settings. They strive to deliver top-quality translations for medical teams.

Certified translations and medical tourism

Many patients around the world consider medical tourism because they are trying to reduce expenses or they are seeking a procedure that is not available in their home country. Others may just be looking for a second opinion from a medical professional overseas. International patients who are seeking medical treatments and consultations in the United States usually need to present the certified translation of their medical documents to English speaking doctors. They should get in touch with experienced translators who understand medical language and can translate and certify the content from the source language to English accurately. Translation companies that translate and certify medical documents according to the requirements of medical facilities in the United States help international patients submit their paperwork more efficiently.
