Sworn Translations are an essential service for anyone requiring legal documents, such as contracts, certificates, and official papers, to be accurately translated for legal or government purposes. At Orion Translations, we specialize in providing sworn translations that meet the highest legal standards, ensuring your documents are recognized by authorities, courts, and official institutions.
What Are Sworn Translations?
A sworn translation is a translation of a document that has been completed by an official translator, often known as a “sworn translator.” This translation is legally binding, which means that it is recognized by government agencies, legal entities, and sometimes courts. Sworn translators are individuals who are authorized to translate documents for official purposes after passing a certification exam or fulfilling specific legal requirements within a given jurisdiction.
In simple terms, sworn translations carry the weight of authenticity. They are not just ordinary translations; they are attested by the translator’s signature and often come with a declaration that the translation is true and accurate. The translator, by swearing an oath, guarantees that the translation meets all required standards.
