Certification Statement: A certification statement from the translation provider, such as PDX Fingerprinting, affirms that the document is an accurate and complete translation of the original. This statement ensures compliance with Oregon state requirements and is often notarized for additional legal assurance.
Acceptance by Official Agencies: Certified translations by recognized providers are accepted by Oregon courts, USCIS, and other government agencies.
