What Is a Government or Licensing Certified Translation?

Canadian government agencies and licensing authorities define a certified translation as a complete and accurate translation of an original document, accompanied by a signed certification statement from a qualified professional translator.

Certified translations are required for official review, licensing decisions, regulatory compliance, and record verification. Informal, partial, or uncertified translations may result in delays, refusals, or requests for resubmission.

A compliant government-certified translation must faithfully reflect the original document’s content, structure, official terminology, and formatting.
