Affidavit from a Translator in Pakistan

[wxyz123]

Hi All!

For all translated documents in English / French I found out in CIC guide lines that an affidavit from a translator is also required that he has the authority to translate these documents. Has anyone provided that affidavit??

i have translated my documents from islamabad / pakistan and he has not given me any affidavit but a certificate that

"he has the authority to translate these documents and he has made this solemn declaration beleiving it to be true and knowing it is of the same force and effect as if made under oath.

declared before me at the city / town of islamabad in the federal area of ict and country of pakistan"



I then attested this certificate from notary public

Please provide your kind feed back

Thanks All...

Dear xyz123,

I have not heard such thing.

Translation of documents
Any document that is not in English or French must be accompanied by:

• the English or French translation; and

• an affidavit from the person who completed the translation; and

• a certified copy of the document.

Note: An affidavit is a document on which the translator has sworn, in the presence of a commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the country in which the translator is living, that the contents of their translation are a true translation and representation of the contents of the original document.

Translations by family members are not acceptable.

 "an affidavit from the person who completed the translation; and

i translated my documents in english but he has not provided me an affidavit but a certificate of competence  and it is not on stamp paper.

Ask the person to prepare "Affidavit" for same.

I dont think there will be a problem for him to prepare the affidavit.

any more inputs???

in my case, I did NOT provide any kinds of certificates or anything.

in my paper during the notorization, there were 2 stamps,
1 gives "this is the true copy of the original", name, signature, date, title, date of expiry, etc
2 gives name, title, date of expiry, etc.

i think there is no need of other certificates.

i send the original translated documents, and only in case of photocopy i did the notorisation.
well, we do have a government translation body for the translation purpose, I didn't get any certificate from them.

Done the translation from Karachi, and got the same affidavit, as you mentioned,  on translator's letter head, and notarised it, it think this should be sufficient.
