Sworn & certified translation services

A sworn translation is required for legal proceedings and official filings, such as court documents or regulatory submissions, whereas a certified translation includes a signed statement confirming accuracy, but it may not be issued by a court-appointed translator. Requirements vary by country, but our team can advise which you need.

It depends on the language pair and the complexity of the document. Thanks to our extensive network of sworn linguists across many language combinations, we offer competitive turnarounds while maintaining the accuracy and authenticity these documents require.

An apostille is a legal certificate that verifies your document for international use, it authenticates the signature and seal on your sworn translation. You’ll often need one if you’re submitting documents to countries in the Hague Convention. Our team can advise whether your specific situation requires one and how to get it sorted.

Yes, we can arrange apostilles as part of our sworn translation service. That means you get a legally valid, authenticated document ready for submission, rather than having to organise it separately yourself.

No, in sworn and certified translation, apostille and legalisation are different processes. Apostilles are for countries in the Hague Convention, one certificate works across all member states. Legalisation is a longer process through embassies for non-member countries. We can work out which one your documents need based on where they’re going.
