However, it’s important to check specific requirements for the country where the translation will be used. Ensure your documents meet all requirements by understanding the Legal and Formatting Standards for Sworn Translations .

  • How do I know if I need a sworn translation or a standard translation?

    Sworn translations are typically required for legal, governmental, or official purposes where the translation must be certified and legally recognized. If you are unsure whether you need a sworn translation, please consult with the requesting authority or contact us for guidance.

  • Can a sworn translator verify the authenticity of the original documents?
