What is an Affidavit of Translation Accuracy?
It is a sworn statement by a translator confirming that a translation is complete and accurate to the best of the translator’s knowledge and ability.
Who signs the affidavit?
The translator or other person making the accuracy statement signs the affidavit. The receiving authority determines whether that person must have specific credentials or certification.
Does every foreign filing require this affidavit?
No. Translation and certification requirements vary by document, destination, receiving authority, and filing type. The Milano Seal does not add translation or affidavit requirements unless supported by the matter instructions or verified authority data.
Can the affidavit require an apostille?
It can, but not automatically. If the affidavit is notarized and the receiving authority requires authentication of the U.S. notarial act, the correct apostille or authentication path is determined from the actual jurisdiction and destination requirements.
