What Sets Sworn Translations Apart?
What Sets Sworn Translations Apart?
Sworn translations are official documents translated and certified by a sworn translator accredited by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. These translations carry legal validity and are often required for:
Birth certificates, marriage licenses, and divorce records.
Death Certificates
Legal contracts, court rulings, or deeds.
Certificate of Criminal Records
Academic documents
Business contracts
Legal documents
Before proceeding, confirm if your document needs a sworn translation or if a general translation suffices.

Ask for a sample of previous work or client testimonials to assess quality.
