Translator's Affidavit

What is an affidavit for a translation?

An affidavit for a translation is a document that says the translation is a true and accurate version of the original text.

The translator swears that their translation is a true and accurate representation of the contents of the original document. The translator does this in front of a commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the country where they live.

Taking an affidavit: who can do it?

In Canada:

• • a notary public

  • a commissioner of oaths

  • a commissioner of taking affidavits

Outside Canada:

• • a notary public

Translators who are certified members in good standing of one of the provincial or territorial organizations of translators and interpreters of Canada do not need to provide an affidavit.
