Certified Translations
In Greece, public authorities, courts, and other official bodies often do not accept simple translations of documents. In these cases, a certified translation is required.
A certified translation is a translation of a document that has been certified by a translator or attorney.
Certified translations must be certified by a sworn translator or an attorney.
