Certified translations do not expire. A new translation is only needed if your source document changes or an organization requests a more recent version.

When Translations Remain Valid

  • The translation accurately reflects the original document
  • The original document has not been amended or updated
  • No significant time has passed that makes the document itself outdated

When You Might Need a New Translation

  • Document Updated: If the original document is amended or reissued
  • Organizational Request: If an organization specifically requests a recent translation
  • Different Purpose: If you need the translation formatted differently for a new use

Keeping Your Translation

We recommend:

  • Saving digital copies in a secure location
  • Making copies of physical translations before submitting originals
  • Accessing previous translations through your account dashboard
