Sworn translation has gained significant importance in recent times due to factors like international trade, the formation of political-economic blocs, migration, and tourism.

But what exactly is sworn translation?

 It refers to the officially recognized translation of legal documents or any documents that require acceptance in a legal context, such as birth certificates, academic certificates, or declarations. Sworn translations are necessary whenever a translation is intended for administrative purposes or to fulfill governmental requirements.

The regulations regarding sworn translations are not fixed as they depend on the country of use, resulting in variations based on location. Hence, this type of translation can also be referred to as certified, public, or official translation, reflecting the process employed for translating documents specific to the target country.

However, the validation of a translation may require different procedures based on the country of translation origin and the country where the final document will be presented. Some common processes include:

• In countries like Spain, France, or the Netherlands, a translator becomes a sworn translator by taking an oath before a court. Translations performed by sworn translators are accepted as accurate and compliant with legal requirements. These translations bear the translator's signature and seal.
• In countries like the UK or the USA, there is no official "sworn translator" designation. Instead, a translation can be certified if it is signed by the translator in the presence of a solicitor or notary. However, it is the translator who assumes responsibility for the accuracy of the document.
• Translations can also be certified by the translator or translation company by confirming the document's accuracy, providing the translation date, and supplying the full name and contact details of the translator or a representative of the translation company.

It's important to note that these procedures and requirements may vary depending on the specific country and context. Consulting with professional translators or translation services can ensure compliance with the relevant regulations for sworn translations.
