A sworn translation is carried out when it is necessary to certify a legal value of the translation, and is therefore subject to stamp duty.

The practice provides that the official authentication of a sworn translation begins with the issuance of the oath report by the court, followed by the countersignature of the sworn translator in the presence of the clerk or public official, and concludes with its integration into the final corpus.

The sworn oath serves to attest to the veracity of the translation for judicial or administrative purposes – which is called asseveration. For this reason, a sworn translation is also known as a sworn translation.

Due to the presence of stamps and seals in a sworn translation, it can be considered more formal than a certified translation.

It is essential that the sworn translator faithfully performs the translation in the language, reflecting the original text in form and structure, including footers, headers, etc.

Sworn translation is suitable for documents such as:

– birth certificates

– passports and driving licenses

– Chamber of Commerce searches and balance sheets

– notarial, corporate, commercial acts
