Sworn Translations for International Use

Some countries require official documents to be translated by a sworn translator before they can be accepted by courts, government departments, embassies, consulates, universities or overseas authorities.

At Official Translation Service, we assist with sworn translations for personal, legal, academic, immigration, business and corporate documents. Where required, your document will be translated by a sworn translator who is authorised or registered in the relevant jurisdiction.

Sworn translation requirements vary from country to country, so it is important to confirm the exact requirement with the receiving authority before placing your order.

When Do You Need a Sworn Translation?

You may need a sworn translation if your document is being submitted to an overseas authority in a country that recognises or requires sworn translators.

Sworn translations are commonly requested for:

Birth certificates
Marriage certificates
Divorce certificates
Death certificates
Academic certificates and transcripts
Police certificates
Court documents
Powers of attorney

Immigration and residency documents
Passports and ID documents
Company registration documents
Contracts and legal agreements
Medical certificates
Embassy or consulate submissions
Overseas marriage, citizenship, or registration procedures

If the authority has specifically requested a sworn translation, please send us their instructions so we can advise on the correct service route.

Accurate Translation by Authorised Linguists

Sworn translations must be accurate, complete and prepared in the correct format for the destination country. Our team ensures that the translation reflects the original document clearly, including names, dates, stamps, signatures, seals and official terminology.

Depending on the country, the sworn translator may need to use a specific stamp, declaration, signature or format. We will review your document and the authority’s requirements before confirming the most suitable option.

Sworn Translation Made Simple

The process is straightforward. Send us a clear scan, PDF or photo of your document and tell us where it will be submitted.

Our team will check the document, review the language pair and confirm whether a sworn translation is available for your destination country. We will then provide the price, turnaround time and delivery options before you proceed.

Once confirmed, the translation will be completed, checked and prepared in the required sworn format. Digital copies and hard copies can be arranged where applicable.

Certified, Notarised or Sworn Translation?

A certified translation is commonly used for many UK authorities. However, sworn translation is different and is usually required in countries that have an official sworn translator system.

Some authorities may request a sworn translation only, while others may also require notarisation, apostille or legalisation. Because requirements depend on the country and the receiving authority, we recommend checking their instructions before ordering.

If you are unsure, simply tell us where the document will be used and we will guide you.
