Sworn Translation Services — Legally Binding Translations
When your documents must carry legal weight in another country, a standard translation is not enough. You need a translation completed and certified by an authorised sworn translator in the destination jurisdiction — prepared in the correct format, with the required seal, signature, and sworn statement.
- Translation for Official Acceptance
- Accurate, Delivered Fast

- add-ons
Choose the right translation certification
Not sure what to order? You’re not alone. Many rejections happen because the wrong type of certification was provided.
Certified Translation
Best for most official and administrative uses. A certified translation confirms that the translation is accurate and complete and is supplied with an appropriate certification statement.
Apostille/Legalisation
If you’re submitting documents internationally, you may need authentication for cross-border recognition. This is common for overseas authorities, international study/work, and certain legal processes.
“The best decision I’ve made for my documents. The translation service is accurate, dependable, and ensures my paperwork is accepted worldwide.”
Notarised Translation
A notarised translation adds an extra layer of verification. This is typically requested when a receiving party need formal confirmation of the translator’s identity/signature.
Sworn Translation
Some countries require sworn translators appointed/recognised by courts or official bodies. If your destination authority specifies “sworn translation”, tell us the country and purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are sworn translation services?
Sworn translation services provide translations that carry legal standing in jurisdictions that recognise sworn translators. The translation is completed and certified in the format required by the destination country, often including a sworn statement and official seal or stamp.
How do I know if I need a sworn translation or a certified translation?
Check what the receiving authority asks for. If it says “sworn”, “court-appointed”, “officially appointed”, or similar, you likely need sworn translation. If it says “certified translation”, you likely need a certified translation. If you’re unsure, send us the instruction text or screenshot, and we’ll confirm.
What is the difference between sworn translations and certified translations?
A sworn translation is certified by an authorised sworn translator in a specific jurisdiction and may carry formal legal status. A certified translation typically includes a signed certification statement confirming accuracy and completeness, and is commonly requested by many institutions and immigration processes. The correct choice depends on the receiving authority’s rules.
Can you provide notarised certified sworn translations (and explain the differences)?
Yes — where appropriate. Notarisation is a separate step that verifies a signature or identity and may be requested in addition to sworn or certified translation. We’ll advise whether notarisation helps, is unnecessary, or could cause issues for your specific submission.
Do you need the original document, or is a scan enough?
In many cases, a high-quality scan or clear photois sufficient. Some authorities require physical originals or certified copies for certain purposes. Tell us where you’re submitting, and we’ll advise what’s acceptable.
Will my sworn translation be accepted by the authority I'm submitting to?
Acceptance depends on meeting the authority’s stated requirements. Our process focuses on matching jurisdiction, format, and certification style to what the authority expects. If you share the requirements upfront, we can align the output precisely and reduce rejection risk.
How fast can you deliver sworn translation services?
Turnaround depends on language pair, document complexity, and destination requirements. If you have a deadline, tell us immediately — we’ll confirm the fastest safe option and the exact delivery date before you proceed.
Can you ship a physical copy?
Yes. If your submission requires a hard copy, we can provide shipping options. If you only need a digital submission, we’ll deliver a secure PDF version suitable for online portals.
