In today’s interconnected world of international relations, education, and business, a sworn translation plays a critical role whenever a document needs to gain legal validity in a different language. So, what exactly is sworn translation, and why is it so important? Let’s dive into the details.
What is Sworn Translation and What Sets It Apart from Regular Translation?
Simply put, a sworn translation is a translation performed by a sworn translator who has been authorized to translate official documents under oath in the presence of a notary public. These translators guarantee that the translation is accurate and faithful to the original document by affixing their own seal and signature.
While a regular translation aims to convey the meaning of a text, a sworn translation ensures the legal and official validity of the document. This means that acceptance by courts, consulates, universities, or other official institutions is typically only possible through a sworn translation.
When is a Sworn Translation Necessary?
You might need a sworn translation at many turning points in your life or for various official procedures:
Education
Translation of diplomas, transcripts, and equivalency certificates for university applications abroad.
Legal Proceedings
Translations of court decisions, powers of attorney, contracts, and divorce decrees.
International Business
Company agreements, commercial contracts, patent documents.
Visa and Immigration
Personal documents such as passports, birth certificates, marriage certificates, and criminal records.
Healthcare
Medical reports and epicrises for patients receiving treatment abroad.
