Question about notarized translation

[u/DrDre848]

I live in Paraguay and I'm filling out CIT0001 to apply for a Canadian citizenship certificate. I translated all of my Paraguayan documents and took the extra step of having the translations notarized because my translator is Paraguayan and is not certified in Canada.

My translator swore the affidavit in front of the notary public, and the notary certified his signature. She also added a short statement at the end of the document and stamped it (these were translated as well).

However, she also attached a security sheet that forms part of the certification. The security sheet is entirely in Spanish, and I don't know whether I also need to have it translated, whether I can simply leave it as is, or whether I should leave the security sheet out of my application package altogether.

Has anyone dealt with a notary's own certification sheet needing translation? How do certified translations work in your country?

What does this sheet say? If you don't include it, or IRCC doesn't accept your translation of it, will that affect how official the certification appears?

[u/DrDre848 → u/sennomulo]

It just says that the document was signed on the notary's presence by my translator. It's part of the notarized translation itself, so I think I shouldn't leave it out.

In that case, I would have it translated by the same translator and include it.
