Sworn Translation
A sworn translation is carried out by a translator authorized according to the framework recognized by the recipient authority. It serves to present a document in a language accepted for the concerned procedure.
The translation does not authenticate, by itself, the original document. Legalization or an apostille may still be necessary, or be waived depending on the case. Before ordering the translation, verify the accepted languages, certification requirements, and documents to be attached in the targeted procedure.
