Certified Electronic Signature for your Official Translations
Ensure the international acceptance of your documents. By implementing an encrypted digital signature, you guarantee to embassies, universities, and foreign authorities that your translation is authentic and has not been altered.
Why is a scanned image not enough?
In today's digital world, pasting an image of a signature into a PDF or Word document offers no security guarantees, as anyone with basic editing skills can copy, paste, or forge it. This causes many embassies and immigration agencies (such as USCIS and IRCC) to reject documents that lack traceability.
Our Electronic Signature solves this problem. It's not just a drawing; it's a cryptographic certificate embedded in the PDF document's code. By opening the file with any official reader, the authorities can verify who signed the document, on what exact date, and that the file hasn't been modified in the slightest since it left our agency.
Unbreakable Lock
Once the digital signature has been applied by our Official Translator, the PDF file is cryptographically sealed. If anyone attempts to alter a date, name, or number, the signature will immediately display a "Document Altered" error, protecting you from fraud.
The Adobe “Blue Ribbon” Standard
When the recipient opens your translation in Adobe Acrobat Reader (the global standard), they will automatically see a blue bar at the top indicating: “Signed and all signatures are valid”. This drastically speeds up immigration procedures.
Paperless International Procedures
Save hundreds of dollars on international physical shipping (FedEx, DHL). You can send the same original PDF, electronically signed, by mail to the university or consulate, and it will retain its legal weight.
Permanent Validity
Unlike regular web security certificates, our electronic signature features long-term validation (LTV). The signature and translation will be valid indefinitely.
Full Legal Validity (Law 527 of 1999)
Within the legal framework of Colombia, according to the Law 527 of 1999 and Decree 2364 of 2012, The electronic signature has exactly the same force, effectiveness, validity and legal effects as a traditional handwritten signature on paper.
By acquiring this service for only $12,500 COP additional, the Official Translator of Traductores.co SAS issues the document under this legal principle of functional equivalence, ideal for presentation on official government platforms.
