Yes, to the best of our knowledge.
If your translated document must take effect abroad, the foreign authorities require a legalization of the translator’s signature.
Legalization is the procedure by which a state authority certifies the authenticity of the signatures affixed on a document. There are two sorts of legalizations: by way of an apostil (or apostille) or by simple legalization (without apostil). The countries signatories to the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 accept legalizations by an apostil. In Geneva, the public officer attests that the document has been translated by a sworn translator, then affixes his or her signature at the end of the document. Countries that are not party to the Hague Convention accept the seal of simple legalization insofar as the translation is signed by the foreign country’s official representation (embassy, consulate or mission).
The Legalization services of Geneva (Route de Chancy 88, 1213 Onex) deliver apostilles and legalizations.
