Where an affidavit forms part of evidence or supporting material in a legal proceeding.
Affidavit translation
Certified translation of affidavits and closely related sworn or affirmed statements for legal, court, immigration and other official use. Upload the full document and include any directions from the solicitor, court, tribunal or authority receiving it.
Legal-document detail
An affidavit is more than ordinary prose. It can contain numbered paragraphs, statements made by a named person, exhibit references, signature blocks, witnessing details and certification wording.
The translation should preserve that structure clearly so the receiving legal professional or authority can relate the English version back to the source.
