What is a sworn translation?

A sworn translation is an authentic instrument by a court-appointed translator who takes the oath at the Court of First Instance. By means of the sworn translation, the translator certifies, by signing an oath statement, that the translated text corresponds to the original text.

The signing of the oath statement implies taking over the administrative responsibility for the translator of civil and criminal liability in relation to the translation (Reference legislation: Art. 5 R.D. October 9, 1922, no. 1366).

With this procedure, the translated document takes on the same value as the original document.

Sworn translations are required when a translation is to be used for administrative, governmental, or judicial purposes.
