In both business and personal life, dealing with legal documents in another language can be a challenge. Contracts, certificates, diplomas, and other official documents require a specific type of translation: sworn translation. This service ensures that the content is officially recognized and maintains its legal validity, both in Brazil and abroad.
If you need security, accuracy, and legal recognition, relying on sworn translation is essential. In this article, we explain how this service works and why it is the right choice for your documents.
What is Sworn Translation?
Sworn translation is performed by a public translator, a professional accredited by the commercial board of the state, with the authority to translate official documents. This type of translation is mandatory for foreign-language documents to have legal validity in Brazil or for Brazilian documents to be recognized abroad.
Examples of documents that may require sworn translation:
• Birth, marriage, and death certificates.
• Diplomas and school transcripts.
• Commercial contracts and powers of attorney.
• Corporate documents, such as articles of association and minutes.
Why Does Sworn Translation Ensure Quality?
1. Official Recognition
Sworn translation has public faith, meaning it is officially recognized by government and legal bodies. This ensures that the translated content is considered authentic and reliable.
2. Legal Accuracy
Sworn translators have a deep knowledge of legal terminology, ensuring that the exact meaning of the original document is preserved.
3. Standardization and Validity
Sworn translations follow specific standards, including formatting and official signatures, which ensure their acceptance in administrative and legal processes.
