Notarized Sworn Translation in All Languages

Translation is the accurate and complete transfer of a text’s meaning, style and integrity from a source language into a target language. For official documents, not only the words but also the legal nature and correct terminology of the document are preserved.

A sworn translation is an official translation made by a sworn translator who has taken an oath before a notary and is certified with the translator’s stamp and signature. Such translations are accepted as valid by official institutions.

A notarized translation is a sworn translation that is additionally certified by a notary. While a sworn translation carries the translator’s certification, a notarized translation is also officially approved by the notary — this is usually required for courts, consulates and official procedures.

A consular translation is the sworn translation of documents to be submitted to a country’s consulate into the relevant language, with approval by the consulate or the district/provincial authority when required. It is frequently requested for visa applications and procedures abroad.

An Apostille is an official certification that gives a document international validity among countries party to the Hague Convention. Apostilled documents are accepted in other member countries without the need for further consular approval.
