Certified translation
A certified translation is one an authority accepts as faithful to the original. In Panama, documents in another language must be submitted with a Spanish translation by an authorized public translator.
We prepare certified translations for residency and naturalization, company registration, degree recognition, court proceedings and public tenders. The translation carries the translator's signature and seal and, when the institution asks for it, is delivered on paper bound to the original or its copy.
For documents leaving Panama we produce the translation in the format the destination country expects (sworn, certified or notarized) and tell you whether the translation itself needs an apostille.

- Complete translation, including stamps, signatures and margin notes
- Translator's signature and seal, in a format the receiving institution accepts

A translator licensed by the Panamanian State to produce translations with official validity. Many Panamanian institutions only accept translations signed by one of them.
