Certified Japanese Translation: How To Avoid Application Rejection

Certified translation is a crucial step for official applications, such as visa, immigration, or bank loan applications. 

 

Let's talk about the pitfalls that could lead to your application being rejected.

The Importance of Certification

When dealing with personal legal documents for your application, translation alone is not enough. It needs to be certified, and this certification comes in the form of a Statement of Certification. This document, issued by the translating entity, verifies the accuracy of the translation. Remember, without this statement, your translation is not certified –

 

It's as simple as that!

The Costly Mistake: A Real-Life Example

Consider this cautionary tale: 

A client came to us with a Japanese-to-English translation needing certification for a travel visa application. The original translation was done by a company known for ultra-cheap machine translations. The problem arose when this budget-friendly translator refused to issue a Statement of Certification. 

Why? 

Governmental organizations, including immigration departments and embassies, don't accept machine translations due to their poor quality. 

Don't make the same mistake - always ensure your translation company can issue a Statement of Certification BEFORE making any commitments.

Smart Translation Choices

Avoid throwing money to the wind by choosing a certified translation service wisely. 

Prioritize translation companies that can provide the essential Statement of Certification. Don't risk rejection - ensure your application is accepted the first time. Contact Japan, Tokyo based Certified Japanese Translation Services
