Each country has - or doesn't have - laws on the matter. Where there is such a law, like in Brazil, Spain, Argentina etc., translators must comply and usually pass an exam. Where there is no law on the matter, (e.g. USA, Canada, UK, etc.) each agency is free to set their requirements for accepting such documents translated.
Brazilian laws, for instance, require candidates to have Brazilian nationality and be resident in Brazil for at least one year before enrolling for the exam. Spanish laws are not so strict, they only require citizenship of an EC country, and residence can be anywhere.
Maybe ATA certification would work for you. ▲ Collapse
