Translator Qualifications
As per data from the U.S. Department of State, translators tasked with creating certified English translations don't need specific accreditations. However, they must be fluent in both Spanish and English. The translation should come with a statement wherein the translator attests to their competency in the two languages and the accuracy of the translation.
Certification Requirements
Based on directives from the U.S. Department of State, every translated document should be accompanied by a signed statement from the translator, certifying their fluency in both Spanish and English, and the correctness of the translation. Mexico, being a part of the Hague Apostille Convention, implies that certain documents might require an apostille for validation.
Mexican nationals are advised to engage directly with the U.S. Embassy in Mexico for precise and up-to-date requirements tailored to their individual case.
