There is no need. Certified translation does not require the client to attend in person: the document is sent by email or photographed, the translation is produced and certified, and the result is returned by registered post or in digital form, depending on the criteria of the receiving authority. At GT-Tradu\u00e7\u00f5es we have worked this way for four decades from our office in Loul\u00e9 for clients across the country.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pull-quote\">With a certified translation, it is the document that has to travel \u2014 not the client.<\/div>\n<p>That is a practical difference for anyone working, studying or fighting the deadlines of an ongoing procedure.
