  • Is incomplete or summarized
  • Contains incorrect legal terminology
  • Lacks a signed certification statement
  • Was prepared by the applicant
  • Does not identify the translator

The Certificate of Accuracy confirms that:

  • The translation is accurate and complete.
  • The translator is qualified to certify the translation
  • The translation is intended for official court use in Canada

This certificate is a mandatory requirement for court submissions and must accompany the translated document at filing. It confirms the translation’s accuracy, completeness, and professional certification.

Who Can Certify Court Translations in Canada?

Canadian courts do not accept translations prepared by the parties involved in the case. Certified translations must be completed by a qualified professional translator who can formally certify the accuracy of the work.

Our certified legal translations are prepared by experienced professionals familiar with Canadian legal terminology, court procedures, and documentation standards, ensuring each translation meets judicial expectations.

By working with a qualified professional translator from the outset, applicants and legal professionals reduce the risk of rejection, procedural delays, or requests for resubmission caused by non-compliant translations.
