Sworn Translations

Certified translations that authorities accept.

A sworn translation, also called a certified, official or legal translation, carries the signature and seal of a sworn translator authorised to translate official documents. It confirms the translation is genuine and gives it formal status with the authorities, which matters for any visa application.

Authorities and government agencies require documents in foreign languages to be accompanied by an exact sworn translation of the original, certified by a sworn translator.
