What is a certified translation?

Definition and legal validity

A certified translation is the translation of an official document carried out by a translator authorised by the Ministry of Justice. Through their signature and stamp, the translator certifies that the translation faithfully matches the original. This type of translation has legal validity and is accepted by state institutions, courts, notaries and other authorities.

When you need a certified translation

A certified translation is required for civil status documents (birth, marriage, death certificates), academic documents (diplomas, transcripts), legal documents (contracts, powers of attorney, court decisions), documents for immigration, obtaining citizenship or having documents recognised abroad.

International recognition

For a certified translation to be recognised in another country, an apostille (for member states of the Hague Convention) or consular legalisation (for non-member states) is generally required. tradu.online will assist you throughout the entire process, from translation to apostille.

Frequently asked questions

The most common questions about certified translation.

What is a certified translation?
A certified translation is a translation carried out by an authorised translator, certified by their signature and stamp, confirming that the translation matches the original. It has legal validity and is accepted by state institutions.
What is the difference between a certified and a notarised translation?
A certified translation is certified by the authorised translator. A notarised translation involves an additional step — authentication of the translator's signature by a public notary. Some institutions require a notarised translation, others accept only the certified one.
How long does a certified translation take?
The standard turnaround is 1-3 working days, depending on the volume of the document. For urgent documents we offer an express service with same-day or 24-hour delivery.
Which documents can be translated with certification?
Any official document: birth, marriage and death certificates, diplomas, attestations, contracts, powers of attorney, bank statements, criminal record certificates, property deeds and many others.
Is a certified translation from Moldova valid in Romania and vice versa?
Yes, provided the Hague apostille is applied. Moldova and Romania are members of the Hague Convention, so apostilled documents are recognised mutually. For non-member countries, consular legalisation may be required.
How do I receive the certified translation if I order online?
Once completed, you first receive the scanned version by email. The paper original is delivered by courier to the specified address, in Moldova or Romania.
