Do stamps, seals and signatures have to be translated?

Short answer

Yes — everything on the page is rendered. Official seals, department stamps, registration numbers, fee stamps and handwritten endorsements are described in the translation in their position on the document, and an illegible element is marked as illegible rather than omitted or guessed.

Receiving authorities compare the translation to the original side by side. A translation that silently drops a back-page endorsement or an approval stamp looks like a different document, and that is exactly the discrepancy a consular or immigration officer is trained to notice. Signatures are described (for example, 'signed', with the printed name where shown), not reproduced.

This is also why the source must be complete. Every page, including blank reverse sides that carry a stamp, has to be provided; a certified translation covers what the translator was given, and a missing page becomes a defect in the certified set rather than a harmless omission.
