Prepare a Rejected Translation for Review
Start by gathering the original source, rejected translation, and rejection notice for a fast online intake. The questions below remain supporting context.
Six Questions to Match Against the Notice
Did the notice identify a credential mismatch?
Do not infer a certification tier from the stamp or destination. The receiving authority's notice must state the current credential, language-pair, and document-form issue, if any.
Formal owner: Ask the receiver for its requirement, then send it to us on WhatsApp for review.
Did the notice question current authorization?
Only the receiving authority or relevant registry can establish the current authorization issue for the submitted file.
Formal owner: For current Ministry of Justice registry guidance, the official hotline is 800 333333.
Did the notice identify a language-pair issue?
Formal authorization may be language-pair specific, but this page does not decide which authorization the receiver requires. Use the notice and the receiver's current instructions.
Formal owner: For current Ministry guidance, call 800 333333.
Did the notice identify a format issue?
A receiver may specify a layout, header, margin, or electronic-filing format. Its notice or current instructions, not this guide, establish whether formatting caused the problem.
Formal owner: Confirm the requested format with the receiver.
Did the notice identify another formal step?
A receiver may name authentication, notary, MOFA, embassy, or another step, but none should be inferred from the document type. Use the notice and the receiver's live instructions.
Next step: Use the authority's notice and current checklist to identify whether any step is missing and in what order. The order guide is supporting context only.
Did the notice identify a source-version issue?
A receiver may ask for a newer, complete, or differently issued source. Use its notice to establish the actual issue instead of treating age or document type as an automatic rejection cause.
Next step: Obtain the source version the receiver currently requests. There is no automatic redo rule for every changed source.
Prepare a Formal Review Without Guessing
Use the authority's notice and current requirements as the source of truth. We can organise intake facts but cannot diagnose the formal issue or guarantee acceptance.
What to establish before formal translation begins:
- The credential and language pair the receiving authority currently requires
- Whether the receiver requests attestation and which sequence it specifies
- The receiver's current layout or electronic-filing format
- Whether the receiver requires a current original or another source version
- Any confirmed notarization, MOFA, embassy, or other steps that follow
Arkan uses the source, intended use, language pair, format, and deadline to check whether any urgent online translation work fits its scope.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I take a rejected formal translation?
Gather the rejected translation, original source, and rejection notice. We can use that intake to identify whether any urgent online translation step fits its scope.
How do I know if my translation has the right certification tier?
Use the rejection notice and ask the receiving authority what credential, language pair, and format it currently requires. We do not present those credentials as our own.
What should I bring to Arkan if my translation was rejected?
Bring or send three things: the rejected translation, the original document, and any rejection notice or feedback from the authority. We can organise those facts for intake.
How long does it take to fix a rejected translation?
Timing depends on the file, language pair, rejection reason, receiving authority, and any missing formal step. Arkan confirms timing only for work within its urgent or online check.
