Understanding Apostilled Translation - The Ultimate Guide (Video)
Apostilled translation, also known as legalized translation, involves attaching an apostille certificate to a public document to verify its legitimacy and authenticity for use in countries under the Hague Apostille Convention. Only public documents can be apostilled—private documents must first be notarized to obtain public record status.
Apostilled Japanese Translation
In Japan, apostilles are issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with the process varying based on the document type and legal jurisdiction. While official public documents do not require notarization before an apostille, private documents may be notarized. Certain designated Notary Publics provide notarization and apostille simultaneously, saving you time and money. An apostille certifies the authenticity of signatures and documents but does not validate the translation’s accuracy.
For countries outside the Hague Convention, authentication requirements differ. To ensure compliance and avoid unnecessary delays or costs, it is essential to verify specific requirements with the requesting authority.
