Authorized & Certified Translation Coordination

Translation for official procedures requires more than language conversion

Official translation is not only about changing text from one language to another. For immigration, banking, corporate, real estate, tax, accounting or legal procedures, the translation may need to be performed by an authorized or certified translator and presented in a format accepted by the receiving institution.

A document may also need to be apostilled, legalized or notarized before translation. In other cases, the translation itself may require certification or additional formalities.

CitizenResident helps coordinate this translation workflow with qualified providers and professional partners.

CitizenResident does not act as a certified translator unless expressly stated. Translation acceptance depends on the receiving authority, bank, court, consulate, immigration office or institution.
