ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT
Translating an apostille without confusing translation with authentication
An apostille is a certificate used under the Hague Apostille Convention to authenticate the origin of a public document for use in another participating country. It does not certify the truth of the underlying document and is distinct from the translation itself.
The apostille contains standardized fields - country, signatory, capacity, seal or stamp, place and date of issue, issuing authority, certificate number, and official seal - but the completed entries may be in a language that the receiving party does not read.
When an apostille is translated, the translation should preserve those authentication fields and keep the apostille clearly separate from the underlying document. It should not state or imply that a translation service issued, validated, or can substitute for the government authentication.
The 10-field authentication record
Country, signatory, capacity, seal/stamp, place, date, issuing authority, apostille number, official seal, and signature.
Important distinction
Translation explains the apostille's text; the apostille itself authenticates the origin of the public document under the applicable international process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does every U.S. recipient require a certified translation of Apostille?
Translating an apostille does not replace the apostille's authentication function. A certified translation may be requested when the receiving authority needs the apostille's text in English, but that authority determines whether certification, notarization, or any additional formality is required.
Does translating an apostille create or replace the apostille itself?
No. The translation explains the text printed on the apostille; only the competent public authority issues the apostille that authenticates the origin of the underlying public document. Translation and authentication are separate steps.
Should the apostille stay visually separate from the document it authenticates?
Yes. The translated apostille should remain identifiable as a separate authentication certificate with its own numbered fields, issuer, seal, date, and signature, rather than being blended into the underlying document.
