What is a Sworn Translation?

A sworn translation is performed by a translator authorized by a legal entity, such as a court or government body, to translate and certify documents. These translations carry legal validity, making them essential for various official purposes. A sworn translator’s declaration ensures the accuracy and authenticity of the document, often accompanied by an official seal or stamp.

Why Sworn Translations Matter?

Sworn translations are indispensable for documents requiring legal validation and official recognition. They are typically necessary for legal proceedings, immigration applications, academic enrolments, and other formal processes where the accuracy and authenticity of the translation are crucial.

Difference Between Sworn and Certified Translations

Understanding the distinction between sworn and certified translations is key:

Sworn Translation:

Conducted by translators authorized by legal entities.

Legally binding and recognized by courts and government institutions.

Essential for legal documents, civil status records, and official certificates.

Includes a certification with legal weight, often bearing an official seal.

Certified Translation:

Performed by professional translators or agencies.

Accompanied by a certificate of accuracy from the translator or agency.

Used for various official purposes but may not hold the same legal standing as sworn translations.
