Certified Indonesian Translation Services — By a Sworn Translator

Certified translation means the translator attests to the accuracy and completeness of the translation. Notarization is a separate step in which a notary public witnesses the translator's signature — it authenticates the signature, not the translation itself. Most overseas institutions require certified translation only; notarization is an additional step that some specific authorities request. If you are unsure what your institution requires, share the requirements with me before we begin and I will confirm the appropriate approach.

Pricing depends on the document type, word count, language direction, and turnaround time. I provide a specific quote after reviewing the source document. Contact me directly for a quick, no-obligation estimate — most certified translation requests receive a quote within a few hours during business days.

A certified Indonesian translation includes the full translated text, followed by a signed statement confirming its accuracy and completeness, the translator's name, credentials, signature, and the date of certification. For sworn translation, my official government-issued seal is also included. This is delivered as a PDF file. A printed, signed hard copy is available on request.

My certification under the Governor of DKI Jakarta decree is the recognised standard for sworn translation in Indonesia, and is accepted by Indonesian government bodies, courts, embassies, and international institutions. If your institution has a specific requirement, share it with me before we begin — I will confirm compatibility upfront.

"Certified" and "sworn" are often used interchangeably when referring to Indonesian documents. In Indonesia, the formal legal term is penerjemah tersumpah (sworn translator). My certification covers both — a translation by a government-appointed sworn translator, accompanied by a formal attestation statement and official seal. This satisfies both terms as used by overseas institutions.

Yes. My certification covers both directions: Indonesian to English and English to Indonesian. I hold dual certification from Universitas Indonesia in both directions, and regularly translate English-language documents for submission to Indonesian authorities, courts, and civil registry offices.
