To verify a translator's ATA certification, please enter the individual's certification number in the box below and click the verify button.

The ATA Certification Program was established in 1973. The program's mission is to elevate professional standards, enhance individual performance, and designate translators who demonstrate the knowledge essential to providing translation services. Earning the ATA certification credential is the hallmark of a committed translation professional.
Candidates sign a pledge to uphold the ATA Code of Ethics and Professional Practice, and must pass a challenging three-hour examination designed to test abilities, problem solving, and fundamental knowledge essential to successful translation.
ATA-certified translators maintain their credential by fulfilling continuing education renewal requirements every three years. Certification is an individual commitment to the ongoing pursuit of knowledge in the profession.
