What are Certified Translations and why are they so important?
Certified translations, as their name suggests, are translations that are accompanied by a translation certificate. This certificate guarantees the accuracy of the translated document(s), as the translator states that the translations are faithful to the original text, and also adds his signature, stamp and contact information.

Guarantee of Accuracy and Authenticity
Certified translators must be endorsed by the corresponding organization in each country. In the United States, for example, the American Translators Association (ATA) is the entity that provides certificates.
Certified translations are used when official documents need to be translated: birth certificates, contracts, notes, declarations, diplomas, among many others. These documents are usually submitted to entities (public or private) and in order for them to be sure that the information is completely truthful, they require the translation of the documents to be official. Thus, in order for your documents to be recognized and accepted by the corresponding entity, you must make sure that they are official translations.
Why are certified translations so important?
In addition to what we mentioned above, it is very important to remember the fact that legal systems change in each country, therefore, a certified translation is a tool that allows international communication and guarantees the veracity of the translated information. Because of the above, and because the issue of accuracy and reliability of the information is so relevant, certified translation of documents is considered so important.
It is also essential to bear in mind that not just anyone is suitable for this type of translation and that they will only be accepted when done by a certified translator. In addition, it is not at all advisable to leave personal documents in the hands of just anyone, as this could lead to mishandling of the information contained therein.
