When you need the sworn translation you actually need the certified translation or certification of the translated document with a sworn translator who can validate the translation performed and prove the quality of translation. Besides the certification of the document itself you may also be asked to provide a quality proof certificate that can be attached as a supporting document and an additional proof of the validity and would impart an additional legal force and authority to the performed translation. Sworn Translator The sworn translation is basically performed by an authorized translator either appointed by the local legal authorities or doing the translation on behalf of the certified or ISO compliant Russian translation agency which gives him or her the right to translate and certify in favor of the local translation company. A sworn translation is no different from certified translation and is accepted by any legal institution as any other official document. Sworn translation has the same attributes and has the same legal value as a certified translation. Certificate of Accuracy When a sworn translation is performed it is normally accompanied by a Certificate of Accuracy, which is a signed statement testifying the accuracy and completeness of the translation made to the best translator’s knowledge and ability. Much like a notarized translation the sworn translation shows that the translated and certified document is genuine and has the same value in the eyes of law and administrative authorities. The genuinity is proved with a stamp or a seal of the sown translator.
Documents that need Sworn Certification The certification by a sworn translator is required for a variety of documents and certificates, such as birth and marriage certificates, notary contracts, technical, educational, and legal documents, scholar certifications, diplomas, passports, company statutes, and many other documents. The certification made by a sword translator is added to the original copy of translated text as a formal declaration of quality and accuracy.
