What is a notarized translation?

A notarized translation is a translation accompanied by a notary public's verification. In Korea, a qualified translator prepares the translation, and a notary office (공증사무소) notarizes the translator's declaration of accuracy. This is different from a certified translation, where a qualified translator or licensed administrative agent (번역 행정사) attests to accuracy without a separate notary step.
