What is a certified translation?
A translation is certified (or sworn) when signed and stamped by a court-approved translator. It has the value of an official deed and can be submitted to any administration. Without this certification, your translation is considered simple and non-admissible.
AMBIZ works with translators sworn before Ivorian courts and with a network in France, US, Canada, UK, Spain, Brazil and Portugal for translations recognised in destination countries.
