Sworn Translations
When you need translation for a document, your first step should be to hire a professional to get the job done.
A sworn translation (also called a public, legal, official or certified translation) of a document is endorsed by the signature and seal of a Sworn Translator who is authorized by the Foreign Office to translate official documents. A sworn translation shows that the document translation is genuine, and these translations are regarded as having formal status by the authorities, which is hugely important for the success of any visa application.
At One Visa World we always ensure we have the “the right translator” for the job, which means we make sure the latest trends in language, culture, and market relevance are reflected in your professional translation.
When do you require a Sworn Translation?
Any document that is written in a foreign language and presented to official bodies (e.g. Embassies, consulates or administrative bodies) which is required as part of a visa application or for immigration purposes needs to be accompanied by an exact Sworn Translation of the original text.
Many middle eastern embassies and institutions require a sworn translation when dealing with documents in a foreign language. For example, when validating a foreign university degree in the Ministry of Education, a sworn translation is required. Another example when a sworn translation will be needed is when studying abroad, where it is necessary to present an academic record, which should be certified by a sworn translator.
In the case of marrying abroad, a sworn translation of the birth certificate of the foreign spouse(s) is usually required. In the world of business, there are many cases in which a sworn translation is needed, for example, when a company has commercial relations abroad, it is commonplace to require a sworn translation of the certificate of incorporation, statutes, and other internal documents.
