What is a Sworn Translation?
A sworn translation is executed, stamped, and hand-signed by a professional linguist who has taken an official oath before a public notary under the Ministry of Justice, certifying full fidelity to the original text.
Numerous international enterprises, visa application centers, and foreign institutions accept a sworn translator stamp as sufficient verification.
When is Notary Public Certification Required?
Notarization occurs when the public notary certifies that the signature on the sworn translation belongs to an officially registered sworn translator. This imparts formal statutory authority under state recognition.
Courts of law, land registries, civil registries, and public procurement boards generally require full notary certification.

- Translation fees and notary public statutory dues constitute independent expenses.
