Who this form is for

• Translators preparing a sworn statement about their competence and the accuracy of a translation.
• Clients gathering translated documents for a school, court, immigration office or foreign authority.
• Translators arranging notarization and, if required and eligible, a California apostille.

What you'll need

• The complete translation and original document or a copy, including stamps, seals and handwritten notes.
• The translator's name, contact information, languages and qualifications.
• Document descriptions, original and translated page counts, the receiving authority's requirements and acceptable identification for the translator.

How to complete it

1. Read the packet and confirm the receiving office's requirements, including whether a certified or court-approved translator is needed. Not every filing requires notarization or an apostille.
2. The translator should complete the language, competence and document details truthfully, without omitting content or guessing at illegible text.
3. Save and check the PDF in your own PDF app, then print and assemble the affidavit, translation and original or copy according to the packet.
4. The translator signs under oath or affirmation before the notary. For use abroad, ask about apostille eligibility and any additional destination requirements.
