All You Need To Know About Translation & Attestations Services

The term translation means “the process of transferring words or text from one language to another”. This meaning can be applied in different contexts, but this article will be strictly restricting itself to translation services in used government bodies. Let us learn about the use of translation services and how can they be applied in embassies;

What Are Translation Services? 

At the surface level translation services might seem to be very simple and straightforward. However, a closer look would reveal several technical and intricate complexities involved in the job. A translator doesn’t just blindly change the language of the document, but has to do in a way that keeps the meaning and intent of the document intact. For instance, if someone is applying for Saudi Embassy Attestation, the translation services have to translate the documents from the official language of the native country to the official language of Saudi Arabia without changing the meaning of the document.

Need for Translation Services 

English might be globally recognized but most countries follow a duo lingual policy when it comes to establishing connections with other countries. Most government meetings and conferences hence host both native and English speakers. There is a translator to help those who don’t understand the language. Translation amenities are required even during degree certification attestations. The documents processed by local bodies in Hindi for instance have to be translated in English and Arabic before they’re forwarded to the Embassy.  

Types of Attestations

There are different types of attestations required for different types of documents. Also, the certificates need to be approved by the university or local body before being passed on to the HRD ministry. After the documents are attested by the state and HRD level officials, it will be sent to the embassy for further verification.

You can submit personal documents like marriage certificates, educational documents like mark sheets and degrees and even business related papers like patents and agreements for attestation.

The embassy is a body that set in the applicant’s native country, is a representative of the foreign country that you want to go to.

Degree attestations are basically a way to verify the authenticity of your documents. The papers are thoroughly checked for errors, and then cleared by the secretariat of the HRD ministry.
