At its simplest, a notarized translation is performed by a Notary Public as an additional authentication layer to the certified translation. The main purpose of notarized document translation is to legalize translations of official documents within a country. Furthermore, a translation has to be notarized before submitting it for consular authentication (applied to non-Hague Apostille countries such as Canada, Vietnam, United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, etc.) to be able to use it overseas.
