Join the AATT

To join the Argentine Association of Technical-Scientific Translators, you must be a graduate from a College of Higher Education or University College with a degree in technical-scientific translation.

Requirements

• Submission of a letter of application for membership in English (addressed to The Registrar and signed off with your full name, address, phone number and e-mail);
• Submission of a simple copy of your ID (Documento Nacional de Identidad);
• Submission of an authenticated copy of your college diploma (Diploma Simbólico) and academic transcript (Certificado Analítico de Estudios Superiores);
• Completion of the 'Deontology and Professional Formation' webinar.

The documents (letter, ID, college diploma and transcript) should be digitalised and sent by email to profesionales@traductorado.edu.ar. Once the AATT acknowledges receipt of the documents, you will be able to enrol for the 'Deontology and Professional Formation' webinar.

On completion of the 'Deontology and Professional Formation' webinar, you will qualify to register with the AATT.

Registration gives you the right to be listed among the professional technical-scientific translators on the Official Register page, and to stamp your ascribed Register Number on your translations for life.

Registration also grants you the right to request the indicative rates for plain, technical and scientific translations, and for sight translations and interpretations.

Additionally, you will be entitled to have your signature certified, and your technical-scientific English-Spanish translations accredited by the AATT as being in compliance with the ISO international standards, for as long as your Active Membership lasts.

Some final points for your consideration

• Application for membership of the AATT may be submitted at any time of the year.
• The 'Deontology and Professional Formation' webinar is a new-member requirement which consists of several modules of reading material and an evaluation instance following each module. All the activities are carried out online.
• The cost of registration at the AATT is a one-time expense and the license to use your Register Number and professional stamp is for life; yet, if you are willing to remain an Active Member (i.e. one whose translations are certified by the AATT), you should renew your active membership periodically.
