Definition
Document Translation is the process of converting an Indian document from English or a regional Indian language into the official language required by the destination country or institution. Many countries require a certified or notarized translation to accompany the attested document before it is officially accepted. Translation must meet specific formatting, certification, and notarization standards that vary by destination.
When you need it
Translation is needed when a foreign authority, embassy, employer, or institution requires the document to be submitted in their national language. This is common for Germany, France, China, Arab countries, and institutions in many other nations. Submitting an untranslated document — even a fully attested one — causes rejection. Translation must also comply with the destination country's specific format requirements.
Step-by-Step Process
Every stage is managed by DIDC with careful tracking and clear communication. Notarization is confirmed before anything else moves — preventing rejection at later stages.
DIDC reviews the document and confirms the target language, format requirements, and whether the translation needs to be notarized or attested separately.
A certified translation is prepared in the target language with full accuracy — names, dates, qualifications, and all official details are preserved precisely.
DIDC reviews the translation against the original to ensure compliance — no errors, no omissions, no formatting gaps that could trigger rejection.
If required by the destination authority, the translation is notarized by a registered notary to confirm authenticity of the translated content.
Translation is coordinated with the broader attestation or Apostille process — DIDC ensures both the original and translation are processed together as required.
