Sworn Translator Credential
For Foreign Courts and Consulates
Overview
When Standard Certification Isn't Enough
A sworn translation is executed by a translator formally appointed or recognized by a government authority — a credential common in civil-law countries such as Spain, France, and much of Latin America. When a receiving court, consulate, or ministry requires a "traductor jurado" or equivalent, standard certification isn't enough.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sworn Translation
A translator formally appointed or recognized by a government authority — a court, ministry of justice, or foreign affairs office — to produce legally binding translations in that jurisdiction.
Not exactly. U.S. certified translation relies on a translator's signed accuracy statement; sworn translation relies on a government-recognized credential, which the U.S. legal system doesn't formally use. It's mainly required by foreign authorities.
Spain, France, Germany, Italy, and most Latin American countries commonly require sworn translation for official submissions; requirements vary by receiving authority.
Check the requirements of the specific court, consulate, or ministry that will receive the document. Tell us the receiving country and we'll confirm what's required.
