Got the white books, but they don't have a note from the translato

[heohoel]

We got the white books back from the notary office today for the police record and birth certificate. They contain the Chinese document and the English translation, but none of the white books include a sheet from the translator stating that they're a qualified translator and that the translation is accurate.

 

Do these white book notarial certificates actually need to include the statement from the translator or is that only for things that you're getting an "unofficial" or "unnotorized" translation of? Could you guys take a peak at your white books and see if that's actually included?

 

Thanks a ton

The books we got pretty much outline what rogerinca said here:

 

Our 'white books' from the Guangzhou government notary office, also have the red/blue ink stamp seal on the Chinese language pages, but no such stamp on the pages in English which certify the translation.

However, aside from the ink stamped seals, the [entire] book, all pages have the pressure stamp seal applied to all pages, including the covers. Moreover, if you note, there are sequential serial numbers in red at the bottom of each page.

 

 

But he didn't mention whether or not his included a statement from the translator... I'm going to assume that the statement from the translator is only for "unofficial" translations. Am I worrying about this too much?

You are worrying way too much, the white books with the attached translations will be accepted.

 

Check this post, this is a typical white book: http://candleforlove.com/forums/topic/47546-birth-certificate/?p=619530
