Sworn

Sworn translations are those with an official nature, because they can only be made and sworn by translators certified with the title of Sworn Translator-Interpreter — a title given by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation of Spain. The figure of the sworn translator is also known as official translator, certified translator or expert translator, among others. Unlike simple or usual translations, sworn translations have legal force before official bodies. These translations must also include the stamp and the signature of the Sworn Translator-Interpreter. Besides, in the last page of the document there must appear a certification of its sworn nature. This type of translation is more descriptive than the simple one. In general terms, an official translation may be required for any translated document that will be presented before an official body, e.g. public administrations, universities or courts.
