Add an extra layer of reliability to your official translations with an electronic signature certificate backed by three industry-leading companies:
What is an electronic signature or eSignature?
An electronic signature is a set of data associated with an official translation that guarantees its authenticity and integrity and identifies the signing translator. In the context of an official translation, an electronic signature allows the translator to digitally certify that the document is a faithful and accurate representation of the original. Although It does NOT replace the need for a handwritten signature and physical seal..
This is a optional service, it is by no means mandatory and is only recommended for situations where the entity receiving certified translations wishes to have an additional means of ensuring the integrity of an official translation. It is also recommended for those who wish to add an additional layer of security and reliability to their official translations.
Is an electronic signature or eSignature mandatory in an official translation?
No. It is optionalTraductores.co offers this service as an add-on for people interested in having their translation certified by Google LLC, Adobe, and Digicert (our electronic signature service providers). It is recommended in cases where the entity that will receive your documents requires additional certification of the authenticity and integrity of the official translation.
What are the advantages of having my official translation signed electronically?
The signature is embedded in the digital file of the translation, making any subsequent alterations detectable, ensuring that:
1. There have been no changes to the document since it was signed.
2. The identity of the translator is valid.
3. The date and time of the signature comes from the clock on the signing translator's computer.
4. Any modification to the document will result in the electronic signature being removed.
Does Traductores.co certify or electronically sign translations made by third parties?
No. Only translations made by the Traductores.co SAS team are certified by electronic signature.
