Hi
I live in Lima, Perú. They ask me a sworn translation, as I'm not a sworn translator,that is to say a registered or certified translator with a number, can I legalize it at a notary? does it has the same value as an official translation?
Greetings,

In some places, translators must be tested, certified, and registered as such. They are issued a number, a card, and a seal to apply to the translations they produce, without which the translator would be considered unofficial.

In places where no such legal requirements exist, the translator declares at the bottom of the translation that she/he has produced the translation, that she/he is professionally competent to do so, and that the translation is true to the orginal. The translator's signature on that statement is usually notarized to make it "official." This is what we do here in Texas.
I would check with the client to verify what they mean by "official" translation. ▲ Collapse

| Notarization vs. Legalization | Oct 18, 2004 |
These two are different things. You can notarize your translation at a notary's office upon producing your certificate of translator/interpreter. To my best knowledge, that works in states, where there is no institute of a 'sworn translator'.
As for legalization, it may take a place only after notarization of a document as above.

The only person who can legalize a translation in Peru is a Sworn Translator, who is in the official list published by the Foreign Affairs Ministry.
