A sworn translation, also known as a certified translation or official translation, is a translation that has been certified as accurate and complete by a professional translator who is authorized or recognized by a government or official translation body.

In many countries, certain documents, such as legal contracts, birth certificates, academic transcripts, and official government records, require a sworn translation for official purposes. This type of translation is typically needed for legal proceedings, immigration applications, academic admissions, or any situation where the translated document needs to have legal validity.

A sworn translator is a linguist who has been authorized by a court, government agency, or professional association to provide certified translations. They have the necessary qualifications, expertise, and language proficiency to accurately translate the content of the original document while maintaining its legal significance.

Sworn translations include a declaration signed by the translator, attesting to their qualifications, affirming the accuracy of the translation, and providing their contact information. The translated document is then considered legally valid and can be used as an official record or submitted to the relevant authorities.
