About Our Sworn Translations Services

What is a Sworn Translation?

When submitting translations outside of the UK, you may find that you need what is known as a Sworn Translation. 

These are official translations that meet legal standards in the country where your documents will be used, and are distinctly different from Certified Translations which are suitable for use in the UK. 

Requirements for Sworn Translations are set by local authorities and vary from country to country. It is essential to confirm what is needed before you apply.

 

What should you do first?
We recommend checking the official guidelines for your application in the destination country. This ensures you know whether a Sworn Translation is required.

In many countries, Sworn Translations can only be completed by translators who are officially registered in that country. The most reliable way to meet these requirements is to work directly with an accredited translator or translation body in the destination country.

 

Languages we can supply Sworn Translations for:

  • Spanish for use in Spain
  • Polish for use in Poland
