Yes. High school exchange students coming to the U.S. (or U.S. students studying abroad) typically require an Apostille attached to their official academic transcripts and report cards. This authenticates the school official’s signature for international educational authorities, school districts, and visa processing agencies.

A certified translation consists of the translated document accompanied by a formal signed statement (Affidavit of Translation Accuracy). This document certifies that the translator is competent in both the source and target languages and that the translation is an accurate, complete rendering of the original document.

While some entities only require a certification statement, courts, foreign governments, embassies, and state apostille offices require the translator’s signature to be notarized. Including notarization on every translation ensures universal legal acceptance across local, state, federal, and international jurisdictions.

Our process maintains strict separation between the professional translator executing the accuracy affidavit and the commissioned notary authenticating the signature.
