Limited Translation/Interpretation Resources

 Limited Translation/Interpretation Resources
In & Around the Berkshires

Please note: Due to staff time and resources BIC cannot ensure that this list remains accurate and up to date. There are no full time translation/interpretation services in the Berkshires. Translators/Interpreters are independent contractors and set their own prices. Translations in 24 hours or less are often impossible and clients should plan on a 3-5 day turn around. BIC does not employ these providers and therefore cannot predict your experience with them.

Note that translations should always be typed in English and resemble the document as much as possible in form and verbiage.

Translations required by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services need not be notarized and require the following language at the bottom of the translation with a signature.

(General Translator’s Certification for Agencies to Self-certify a translation.)

I, NAME, hereby certify that I am completely fluent in the languages of __________(fill in with language of the document) and English, and that the above/attached document is a true and accurate translation of the original document presented to me.

Signature:                                                                           Date:

ADDRESS

PHONE NUMBER (of Translator)

If notarization is required the translator must print out the English translation and paragraph leaving it unsigned. They must then travel to a notary public and ask them to watch the translator sign their “certification” and notarize their signature (through the demonstration of an identification)to prove that the “self-certifying” translator is indeed the person signing the document.
