Matric Certificate Notarised Translation
If your child, or close relative’s matric certificate is issued in Afrikaans and needs to be used internationally, a simple translation is not enough. Most foreign institutions require a notarised translation to confirm the accuracy, authenticity, and legal validity of the document.
At Afrikaans Translation, we specialise in Afrikaans to English notarised translations of matric certificates, ensuring that your academic documents are accepted by universities, immigration authorities, and employers abroad.
Whether you are applying to study overseas, immigrating, or seeking international employment, we ensure your matric certificate is translated and legalised correctly the first time.
Why Your Afrikaans Matric Certificate Must Be Notarised
Matric certificates issued in South Africa are often in Afrikaans or bilingual format. However, foreign institutions typically require:
- A full English translation
• Certification confirming accuracy
• Notarisation by a Notary Public
• Apostille for international recognition
A notarised translation confirms:
- The translation is accurate and complete
• The translator is qualified
• The certification is verified by a notary public
Without notarisation, your matric certificate may be rejected or delayed.
Common Uses for Matric Certificate Notarised Translations
You may need a notarised translation of your matric certificate for:
- University or college applications abroad
• Student visa applications
• Immigration and residency applications
• International job applications
• Qualification recognition overseas
Many institutions will not accept documents unless they are properly translated and notarised.
