Official translation<\/h2>\n

Official translations are most often needed for any documentation which is going to be seen in court, educational establishments, or other government bodies outside of one\u2019s home country, and can be necessary for everything from immigration paperwork to international business contracts.<\/p>\n

Sometimes although called a \u201csworn translation,\u201d \u201ccertified translation or \u201ctranslation with an official stamp,\u201d it\u2019s ultimately the same document.<\/p>\n

Companies use official translation mainly to preserve authenticity and integrity of their documents.<\/p>\n

Please note that an official translation involves a longer procedure than a standard translation.<\/p>\n

\"official<\/p>\n

Some examples of documents required:<\/h2>\n

For private use:<\/p>\n

Passport \/ Birth certificate \/ Marriage certificate \/ Criminal record \/ Driving license \/ Diplomas \/ Transcripts \/ Bank statements \/ Notarized deeds \/ Contracts and Patents to court proceedings\u2026<\/p>\n

For business use:<\/p>\n

Business contracts \/ Tenders \/ Market studies \/ Patents \/ Court rulings \/ Internal guidelines…<\/p>\n

Many countries require businesses to submit official translations for compliance with international regulations, especially in sectors such as healthcare, finance, and technology. Official translation ensures that documents meet these stringent requirements and protects companies from legal consequences.<\/p>\n

What is an official translation?<\/h2>\n

An official translation (or \u201csworn translation\u201d) is carried out by a legally sworn translator also called authorized translator.<\/p>\n

A sworn translator is a professional who has been officially appointed by a legal authority to translate legal documents. These translators bear legal responsibility for their translations, that\u2019s why official translations cost more than general translations. There are also fewer sworn translators than general translators.<\/p>\n
