Sworn translation

Sworn translation is a type of translation that can only be done by a sworn translator appointed and certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is possible that in other countries different procedures are followed to swear translations or ensure the solemnity required by such documents.

It is advisable for a sworn translator to have a perfect command of both the source and target languages of the translation, since they will answer personally and legally for any error with respect to the original text translated.

All sworn translations must be duly signed and sealed on each of the pages of the document to be translated. Additionally, the sworn translator must insert a formula or inscription at the start or end of the sworn translation certifying that the document is a reviewed translation faithful to the original translated document. In this inscription, the sworn translator must include his/her personal details, Spanish National ID Card number and member number in order to be available to rectify the translated document or to answer personally and legally for it.
