Notary Public Translation


A Notary Public is officially permitted person selected by the state government to serve the public as a fair witness in performing a variety of official acts related to the signing of critical documents. These official acts are called notarizations. Notaries are supposed to follow the rules without any personal discretion, as would otherwise be the case with a “judicial” official.

Notary Public Can Translate Documents…Is This Possible?
Many people think that notary public has the legal power to translate documents from one to another language. Though, it varies depending on the situation, type of text, translation and whether or not a signature on the document needs notarization.


Rules as regards the notary public profession differ from state to state. Just because one permits public notary to perform a specific service doesn’t mean another will. That is why it’s essential for notary publics to learn their particular state’s laws; otherwise, they could lose their job.

So, a notary public can translate documents…Is this possible? Well, I can say yes, a notary public can perform this service. If the notary public is familiar with the language used in the document, the notary may translate it for the client. Translations aren’t a formal duty of the notary public profession, meaning there are some rules notaries must chase when performing this service.

Even if the notary public is well-informed in the foreign language used in the document, he or she may not certify translations. It is because translating text is not their job. Though, the notary is allowed for notarization of a translator who confirms the accuracy of the translation.

In most states, still, notaries are excluded from notarizing signatures on documents they have translated. If a notary public does the translation, another notary will do the notarization.

Also, a notary public may notarize a document even if he or she is not fluent in the language used. The notary must be able to in words communicate with the signer or interpreter to make sure the signer signs the document in his or her own free will. The notarization and connected certificate should be completed in English, however.

To summarize, the notary public in the United States is allowed to translate documents for clients, although not in an official ability. And if the notary chooses to translate a certificate or text from the source language to the target language, he or she may not notarize any signatures on the document. The notary who didn’t translate the document will perform the notarization. I hope, this will give you an improved understanding of what’s acceptable regarding the notary public translation and notarization of documents and what’s not.
