Key Points to Consider

Country-Specific Requirements

Different countries have varying rules for sworn translation services. For example, in France, sworn translators must be recognized by the courts, while in the UK, translations can be notarized or receive an apostille. The apostille, issued by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO), verifies the authenticity of the document and ensures its acceptance in countries that are part of the Hague Convention of 1961.

Document Validity

Ensure the legal validity of your documents by consulting the relevant authorities before requesting sworn translation services. A document’s legal validity depends on the agreements between the country of origin and the destination country. This step helps avoid unnecessary procedures and ensures your translated document meets all legal requirements.

The Translator’s Role

A translator providing sworn translation services not only translates but also certifies the document, giving it legal value with their official stamp and signature. To be certified as “sworn,” a translation must be produced by a sworn translator who has taken an official oath in front of a court. The sworn translator’s certification adds a layer of trust and authenticity to the translated document.

Specific Features of Sworn Translations

A sworn translation includes several required elements. It must contain a certification statement indicating it is a “certified and true copy of the original,” along with the sworn translator’s seal and signature. The sworn translator must clearly state their full name, designation as a sworn translator, and the languages for which they are certified. The document’s format must closely match the original to prevent fraudulent changes.

Timeframes and Original Documents

Certified translations usually need to be produced from the original documents, not copies. Providing original documents helps avoid delays and ensures the sworn translator can certify the accuracy of the translation. Clients may be reluctant to supply original documents due to time constraints or concerns over potential loss. However, sworn translators often require direct access to the original document to ensure the translation’s integrity.

Additional Certification Processes

In some cases, further certification by a town hall, notary, or Chamber of Commerce may be required. Ensure you check with local authorities to confirm the necessary steps. The final certification process depends on the destination country’s specific requirements and may involve additional procedures to validate the document.

Secure and Reliable Translations

At Best Language Services Ltd., we maintain high standards of security and confidentiality. Our sworn translators adhere to strict confidentiality rules, retaining working files for a limited time before securely destroying them. This practice ensures the privacy of your sensitive information.

Comprehensive Sworn Translation Services

Certified Translation Services

Certified translations are accompanied by a letter on company letterhead confirming that the document has been translated by a qualified translator. This letter, stamped with the Association of Translation Companies seal, certifies that the translation is a true and accurate copy of the original document.

Sworn Translation Services

Sworn translations, also known as affidavits, are often necessary for official documents intended for court or legal purposes. The sworn translator swears before a qualified solicitor that the translation is accurate and true to the original document.

Notarized Translation Services

Notarized translations are more formal and involve the sworn translator declaring under oath before a Notary Public that the translation is accurate. The Notary then signs and stamps the certification letter, which is attached to the document, adding an extra layer of authenticity.

Apostille Translation Services

An apostille, issued by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, certifies the document for use abroad, ensuring it is recognized as true and accurate in other countries. This process may be required for documents intended for international use. At BLS we provide the one of the fastest apostile translation services in the UK.
