What Is Certified Translation in Bahrain?

A certified translation is a translated document issued with the translation office’s certification, stamp or signature. It is prepared for official submission and should reflect all relevant content in the source document.

Certification is not the same as notarization, attestation or embassy legalization. Those are separate procedures that may be requested depending on the document, issuing country and receiving authority.

Certified Translation

A formal translation issued with the translation office’s certification, stamp or signature.

Notarization

A separate legal-verification step that may be required by the receiving organization.

Attestation or Legalization

Authentication through ministries, embassies or consulates for certain cross-border procedures.

— Common submission purposes

Certified translation is commonly requested when a document is being used for an official procedure and the receiving organization does not accept the original language.

Expert translation, and quickly done. Will use again. The only draw back is that they don't have a dedicated payment portal. It is through bank transfer.
