Colombia's official translator system works differently from the U.S. "certified translation" model: an official translator is accredited directly by the State (via Universidad de Antioquia, Universidad Nacional, or the Ministry of Justice), and their signature is registered before a notary public for verification.

That registration is what speeds up notarial authentication when a document needs it for an apostille or embassy submission — the notary can confirm the signature's authenticity in minutes.
