    Thank you for your great service!

    ★★★★★
    I am very impressed with the fast and professional service I received from LSC Canada. I needed to notarize and obtain an Apostille for the POA document to be used in Serbia. And even though I live in Vancouver, and the LSC Canada is headquartered in Ottawa, the phone and email correspondence was excellent and enabled me to obtain the Apostille much faster than if I tried to do it myself. Their efficient service saved me weeks of wait time. I highly recommend Adil and his team at LSC for all your document notarization, authentication, and Apostille needs. Thank you for your great service!

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What should I do if my International Documents are Without Translations?

    First, you must verify whether your international documents require certified translation services according to the destination country’s or authorities’ rules. Legally binding academic documents like birth certificates and official certificates like marriage licenses and diplomas must have translations. Through Canadian membership organizations, including the Association of Translators and Interpreters of Ontario, qualified translators deliver accurate translations of necessary documents.

    The translator certification guarantees that your translation remains thoroughly reliable and complete while the translator provides an official affidavit to validate its integrity. The document translation must fulfill all consulate or embassy standards and proper official certification when notarization becomes necessary. Adhering to this process helps you prevent postponements and prepare your documents for worldwide usage.

    How Should I Prepare My Documents for a Certified Translation?

    Before these, you must collect all the original documents you need to be translated. When presented to certified translators, they should be complete, legible, and final—meaning that corrections or updates are completed before the translation process begins. Check with the destination country or authority whether such documents, such as originals, copies, or any such records in a foreign language, are required for official purposes. You should check whether the translation has to be done by a certified translator who is a member of a professional association in Canada or abroad. Official, accredited translators ensure that their translations are accurate and certified to the conditions they need to work in legal, academic, and government contexts.

    What is the Usual Processing Time for the Document Translation Process?

    The processing time for documents submitted for certified translation services depends on the number of words and pages in the document. Please email us the scanned copies of your documents so we can receive an exact quote.

    How Should I Know if the Translator is Certified?

    If you need the document translations to be accurate and legitimate, you need to make sure the translator you choose is certified. A certified translator is a person who meets qualifications and can be recognized as a professional by a professional translation association in Canada. All of their translations are certified and are trained to meet the legal and official translation requirements. 

    You can check if the translator is certified by confirming that the certified translator is a member of a recognized association. You’ve got to always ask for a certificate and proof of certification to ensure that your documents are accepted legally before proceeding—or other provincial bodies. A statement of certification issued by a certified translator will accompany any translation and confirm both that the translation was created accurately from the original document and that a competent translator made it. Official use requires this certification; authorities, consulates and other organizations admit your documents. You’ve got to always ask for a certificate and proof of certification to ensure that your documents are accepted legally before proceeding.

    What Should You Consider When Requesting a Certified Translator?

    If you intend to request a certified translation for the authenticity and legalization of the document, you need to check whether the country to which the document will be delivered is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. The process is normally a little less complicated for countries that are members, requiring an apostille certificate. However, for countries outside the convention, you may need to take extra steps, such as obtaining verification from a notary public or other government offices.
