Certified translations of personal, academic and legal documents from our Pune-based team. Send your document and the recipient’s instructions to confirm the language pair, certification and delivery format.
A certified translation combines the translated document with a signed declaration of accuracy. The receiving embassy, court, university or other organisation determines the required wording, signatory and supporting formalities.
Wordsmith provides certified translations for personal records, legal documents and business submissions. Share the original document and the receiving authority’s instructions so we can confirm the appropriate package before quoting.
Ask the requesting body what credentials or authorisation it requires. A sworn translator, a translator’s affidavit and an agency certificate are different requirements. ISO certification concerns quality processes and does not automatically replace any of them.
For application-specific guidance, see our immigration translation service. For litigation documents, see court translation services.
We certify translations for individuals, law firms, and businesses across 120+ languages. Here are the most commonly requested documents. If yours is not on this list, contact us. We almost certainly handle it.

WhatsApp us a clear photo or scan of your original document. We accept JPEG, PNG, and PDF. No need to courier the original unless specifically required. We reply with a quote within the hour on business days.
We assign your document to a verified professional linguist from our 5,000+ network who specialises in your subject area and language pair. Every translator signs a project-specific NDA before beginning work.
A senior linguist reviews the translation for accuracy, completeness, and terminology before it reaches us. Our internal quality team conducts a final check against the source document. No translation is certified until it clears both stages.
We prepare the notarised affidavit before a notary public and issue your translation on our official agency letterhead with a signed certificate of accuracy. Your certified translation is delivered by email, WhatsApp, or courier, as you prefer.
Trust is not claimed. It is demonstrated through a track record that other agencies in Pune cannot replicate.
Our team handles translation enquiries for immigration and official documents. If a previous translation has been queried, send the authority’s written feedback so we can assess the specific issue and the scope of any replacement translation.
For court submissions, share the filing requirements with us and your legal representative. Any request for testimony or an appearance must be agreed separately and remains subject to the court’s procedures. Related services: certified translation for court submissions.
Wordsmith Language Solutions holds ISO 17100:2015 certification for translation services and ISO 9001:2015 certification for quality management. These credentials describe our processes; the receiving authority determines the requirements for an individual submission.
We have completed over 1,500 certified translation jobs for visa and immigration purposes since we were founded. Ten to fifteen such jobs are completed every month. This volume means we are deeply familiar with the specific formats required by Canadian immigration, German embassy, Australian immigration, and other major authorities.
The documents you need certified, and the authority you are submitting them to, determine exactly what your certified translation must include. Here is how we approach the three most common situations.
The receiving authority determines whether a translation needs a signed certification, a translator affidavit, a sworn translator or another form of authentication. Share the destination and application instructions before ordering. Related services: certified translation for visa and immigration.
Court submissions in India require translations that can be certified before the court if challenged. Our principals are available to appear at Pune District Court, Bombay High Court, and the Supreme Court of India to testify on the accuracy of our translations. For local language documents including Marathi, Hindi, and other Indian languages, we have handled submissions for some of India's largest corporate law firms. Explore our certified translation for court submissions to understand what court-specific certification involves.
Contracts, memoranda of understanding, property documents, powers of attorney, and legal filings all require translation that carries formal accountability. Our certified format, which includes a signed declaration of accuracy by an agency principal, satisfies the requirements of most legal authorities in India and abroad. For power of attorney translation and other legal documents, we work closely with law firms to match the exact format each court or authority requires.
These four terms are often used interchangeably, which creates confusion. Here is what each term actually means and how WLS handles each one.
| Term | What it means | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | A translation accompanied by a signed declaration of accuracy. | The required declaration, signatory and identifying details. |
| Notarised declaration | A separate notarial act, such as witnessing an oath or signature connected with the translation. | Whether notarisation is requested and who must appear or sign. |
| Attestation or legalisation | Authentication formalities for a document, copy or signature. These do not replace translation. | The particular document and authority involved. |
| Sworn translation | A translation by a translator sworn or authorised under a jurisdiction’s rules. | The recognised qualification and language pair; confirm availability before ordering. |
| Authorised translator | A term whose meaning depends on the requesting organisation and its rules. | Obtain the written requirement; do not assume ISO certification is equivalent. |

We prepare certified translations for embassy, court and official submissions.

Send those instructions before ordering so we can confirm whether our service meets them.
Every certified translation is completed by a subject-matter expert from our 5,000+ verified professional linguist network and reviewed by a senior editor before delivery.

Certified translation includes a signed declaration of accuracy. Notarisation is a separate step involving a notary, for example witnessing an oath or signature. Wordsmith can include both in a service package, but the receiving authority determines which is required.
An authority may specify a translator qualification, certification format or approved provider. Ask for its written instructions and send them with your document. ISO certification describes an agency’s quality processes; it does not replace a qualification or authorisation required by the receiving authority.
Requirements depend on the receiving authority and application. Use its current checklist as the final source of truth, then send that instruction to WLS with your documents.
