Ensure your documents are ready for visas, school, or work abroad with certified sworn translations — quick, accurate, and officially accepted worldwide.

Moving to another country is exciting but comes with much paperwork. If you’re going to study, work, or live abroad, you’ll need to show official documents. But if those papers are in another language, they must be translated. And not just a Google translation or even one from a regular agency — we’re talking about a sworn translation. Is this the first time hearing about it? Let’s take a look at what it means. You might need one, too.

What Is a Sworn Translation?

A sworn translation is a special and absolutely top-quality translation. The government or a court must first approve the translator for this job. And that’s the whole point. When an approved translator puts their stamp and signature on the paper, it guarantees that your translation is high-quality and ready to be shown to different government offices.

Lots of times, you’ll need a sworn translation when you’ve got legal papers to deal with, like:

  • Visas.
  • School papers (like diplomas and transcripts).
  • Work documents.
  • Birth and marriage certificates.
  • Contracts.
  • Court papers.

So, if you want to use these documents in another country, the local office (like immigration or a school) will only accept them if they are translated in this official way.

Why Sworn Translations Are Important

Regular translations are great for personal use or understanding, but they are not enough for legal or official use. If a school, visa office, or government asks for a sworn translation and you send a regular one, they may say no. That could mean delays, rejections, or missed deadlines.

Sworn translations are:

  • Official.
  • Accepted by embassies, schools, and government offices.
  • Signed and stamped by a certified professional.

They are made carefully, word for word, and have legal value. That’s why many countries require them.

How Sworn Translation Works (And How to Get It From Us)

Getting a sworn translation with us is super easy. You don’t need to visit an office or mail anything.

Here’s how it works:

First, send us a copy of your document — a scan or a good photo is fine. Tell us the language you want it translated into (for example, from Spanish to English or English to German). Then, choose when you need it — regular time or urgent. We’ll take it from there.

A professional translator will do the translation. They will sign and stamp it and ensure it matches the rules of the country where you will use it. We can send you a digital copy (PDF) and, if needed, a printed copy by mail.

It’s quick, safe, and done by experts who know what they’re doing.

Notarized vs. Sworn Translation: What’s the Difference?

Many people get confused between notarized and sworn translations. They are not the same.

A sworn translation is done by an officially approved translator who signs and stamps it to confirm it’s true.

A notarized translation has an extra step. A notary from the government checks the translator’s identity and adds their stamp. This doesn’t confirm the translation; it’s just the person who did it.

Sometimes you need both. But most of the time, a sworn translation is enough. We can help with both, and we’ll tell you what you need based on your case.

Moments When You Need Sworn Translations

Let’s look at some real situations. These things happen every day.

  • Maria wants to study in Germany. Although her school papers are in English, the German university requires everything to be in German. Maria gets a sworn translation, so her papers are accepted.
  • Ahmed is moving to the U.S. for a job. His diploma and work records are in Arabic. His employer asks for English versions with a stamp. He gets a sworn translation and gets hired.
  • Anna is getting married in Italy. The town office asks for her birth certificate and divorce paper. She sends sworn translations to make the marriage possible.

There are thousands of situations like this every day. The problem is that many people don’t find all the information before submitting their documents and face issues when they could have easily avoided the stress.

Get Your Documents Ready

Your plans are big, and that’s great. You can move, study, work, or start something new. But your documents need to speak the correct language. And this isn’t just a random rule — it’s an official requirement from the embassy or another government office. So, if you don’t want your documents sent back or to miss deadlines for school, work, or anything else important, it’s better not to take chances. Get everything done the right way from the start.

Upload your file, pick your language and timeline, and relax. We’ll do the hard part. You’ll get a clear, correct, and ready-for-official sworn translation. No stress, just results.
