A certified translation usually includes:

6. Certified Translation vs Notarized Translation
Many people confuse certified translation with notarized translation. Here’s the difference:
| Feature | Certified Translation | Notarized Translation |
| Purpose | Ensures translation is accurate and complete | Confirms the translator’s signature is authentic |
| Issued By | Professional translator or translation agency | Notary public |
| Legal Acceptance | Required by universities, embassies, courts, immigration | Often required additionally for legal procedures |
