What is a sworn translator and when do you need a sworn translation?
Our sworn translators handle our sworn translations. A sworn translation is often called an official translation. Some examples of documents we as a translation agency translate on a daily basis are: birth certificates, general terms and conditions, diplomas, wills and mortgage deeds. These documents often need to be handed over to authorities and therefore need to be translated by a sworn translator. A sworn translation is stamped, signed and certified by the sworn translator.
You need a sworn translation when you need to submit an official document to a government agency, court, or for legal proceedings in another country. Many governments and legal bodies only accept sworn translations because they provide a guarantee that the content of the translation is reliable and correct. It is important to check whether a sworn translation is required in the specific situation, as not all translations require this form of official confirmation.
We also arrange sworn passport translations for applications that require them. Have a deadline? See our urgent translation service. If the recipient uses different terminology, read our guide to sworn and certified translations.

Sworn translations into various language combinations
Are you looking for the sworn translation of a document where Dutch is not the source nor target language? No problem! There are more and more sworn translators nowadays working with a number of language combinations with English as the source or target language, e.g. a sworn translation from English into German. Unfortunately, some language combinations have no sworn translators in the Netherlands making a direct sworn translation impossible.
This means that at all times the document must first be translated into Dutch and then translated from Dutch into the relevant target language at a sworn translation. No worries. Of course, you can expect a clear and competitive rate from translation agency Urgent Vertalen, despite the double translation.

When is a sworn translation not necessary?
A sworn translation is needed only when you need the official documents translated for authorities. A regular translation is often translated for personal use and is often not intended for authorities. Although sworn translations are necessary for official documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and legal documents, there are also situations when a sworn translation is not needed.
For informal or internal documents, such as personal letters, e-mails, or unofficial business communications, a plain, regular translation is often sufficient. Marketing materials, websites, or internal company documents similarly usually do not require a sworn translation unless specifically requested by an authority. It is important to determine the purpose of the translation and whether legal or official recognition is required. If in doubt, a translation agency such as Urgent Vertalen can advise you on the right approach. We provide both translations with the highest attainable quality.
