Hi there,
I would like your help.
I translated a legal doc for a client in Alberta (Arabic Into English). They asked me to 'certify' or 'jurer' the document. Shall I proceed to the Notary or to the so called 'commissaire d'assermentation'? or else?. Please advise on the best way to proceed?
Cheers
NB: I am not yet a member in the OTTIAQ.
Cheers
Fouad

Hi,
I was thinking about your question and I admit I am not sure I understand (but I am not from Canada, so that might be a reason too).
As far as I know in order to be able to certify a document (translation) as "conforme" (in accordance with) to the original (in other language) you have to be a sworn translator of those two languages. How someone who doesn't speak Arabic could certify that your translation is a proper translation of the original?

How someone who doesn't speak Arabic could certify that your translation is a proper translation of the original?
Concerning the commisaire a l'assermentation, I found that information (http://www.justice.gouv.qc.ca/francais/sujets/glossaire/comm-asser.htm):
"Un commissaire à l'assermentation ne peut pas :
de par sa fonction, attester qu’une copie d’un document est conforme à l’original. Il peut cependant faire prêter le serment à la personne qui lui présente cette copie et lui déclare qu’elle est conforme au document original. Toutefois, cette déclaration n’a pas pour effet de donner une valeur authentique à cette copie. En effet, seul le dépositaire d’un document authentique (ex. : le notaire pour le testament notarié, le directeur de l’État civil pour un certificat de naissance) peut attribuer une telle valeur à une copie. "
Which basically means what I tried to explain before... I hope my answer somehow helps - let me know
Cheers,

Thanks a lot Ola. I appreciate your feedback.
I think I missed to clarify a point in my previous message ..oops!
The agency I work for in Alberta asked me to only get the Affidavit signed by a notary public. The Affidavit states that I 'The translator' swear that I did translate this document to the best of my knowledge and that I processed dully and fully all the contents of the document ( divorce and inheretance content type!).
Again, that is what that specific... See more Thanks a lot Ola. I appreciate your feedback.

Again, that is what that specific client wants, and they think that it is workable. Nothing is certain in nowadays market place. Perhaps, the target or end-used wants ONLY that, as far as I know after my last communication with the client.
Perhaps, it is time for me to enroll with the 'ordre des traducteurs' for the Arabic/English pair .
All in all, I got the doc sweared today and sent it to client.

I had to produce sworn translation for a transcript. A "commissaire à l'assermentation" is all it takes for non-C.tr... And it merely states that you are the translator and that you translated faithfully and entirely the original contents.
Notaries are commissaires à l'assermentation, but if it worths the expense, you can ask a colleague or a "professionnal friend" to get the "commission" and it simplifies things too...
