What is sworn translation and when do you need a sworn translator?
Sworn translation is a formal type of translation used when a document must be translated for official, legal, academic, immigration, business or administrative purposes. Depending on the country and institution, the same need may be described as sworn translation, certified translation, official translation or notarized translation.
Sworn translator
A sworn translator prepares translations in a formal legal format. In Poland, sworn translators are connected with the official register kept by the Polish Ministry of Justice and are authorized for specific languages.
Certified translation
Certified translation is often requested for official documents, academic files, legal documents, corporate records and immigration paperwork submitted to an institution.
Official translation
Official translation may be needed when the receiving authority requires a recognized translation format for court, administrative, notarial, consular or public-office procedures.
Sworn Translators in Poland and the Polish Ministry of Justice list
Sworn Translators in Poland work in a regulated legal environment. The Polish Ministry of Justice keeps a list of sworn translators and interpreters, and a sworn translator is authorized for specific language combinations. This is especially important when foreign-language documents are translated into Polish for Polish authorities.
Sworn translator state examination and formal authorization
In Poland, the route to becoming a sworn translator involves formal requirements and a sworn translator state examination. For clients, the practical point is that a sworn translator must be authorized for the language used in the translation.
This matters in academic diploma recognition, court translation, immigration procedures and other cases where the authority checks whether the translation was prepared by the correct sworn translator.

Before ordering, tell us where the translation will be submitted. We can recommend the safer format based on the institution, country and document type.
Apostille, consular legalization and legal validity of sworn translations
Apostille or consular legalization may be required when a document is used abroad. The translation itself may also need to follow a specific sworn, certified, official or notarized format. Legal validity depends on the destination authority’s rules, not only on the translation language.
Apostille
Apostille is often used for documents moving between countries that recognize the apostille route. Whether it is needed depends on the issuing and destination country.
Consular legalization
Consular legalization may be required for some countries and procedures. Requirements should be checked before ordering translation or delivery.
Legal validity
We prepare translations in the requested formal route whenever possible, but final acceptance always depends on the receiving authority and procedure.
