UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS
In Europe, a sworn or certified translation is not just a translation but a legally recognized document. It’s produced by a professional translator who has taken an oath before a court and meets strict legal requirements. Accompanied by a signed statement or official stamp, this ensures that the translation is accurate and legally valid for official use.
Sworn translations are essential when dealing with European legal systems, government or educational institutions, or any official matter requiring full legal recognition. Unlike in the USA, where certified translations may have looser requirements, European sworn translators are authorized by legal bodies, making their work indispensable for legal or official matters.
COMMON SCENARIOS
Sworn translations are legally required when submitting official documents that need to be recognized by European authorities. Here are common situations where you’ll need a sworn translation and why it’s essential:
While we handle sworn translations, certain documents may also require an apostille for full legal recognition. If this applies to your documents, we will guide you through the specific process for your destination country based on our expertise.
