What is a sworn translation or certified translation?

A certified translation is done by a professional sworn translator who has passed a examination and who is registered with the High Court.
You need a certified translation when submitting foreign language documents to a public authority.

– birth, marriage and death certificates
– school or university degree
– police clearance certificate
– bank statements
– court orders including divorce, adoption etc.
– commercial documents
– legal documents

We provide certified translations from Italian to English of Italian documents such as:
– Italian birth, marriage or death certificate
– Italian school or university degree
– Italian police clearance or criminal records certificates (certificato del casellario giudiziale)
– Italian driving licence
– bank statements
– court orders  and legal documents
– commercial documents

Legalisation of certified translations

If you need to submit a sworn translation to the Italian Consulate, you will have to either have it legalised by the Consulate or apostillised by the High Court.
Our services include assistance with this process: we can deliver your translated document to you already with the Apostille, at a smaller cost than the Consular legalisation.
For more information go to Apostille and legalisation.
