What is a sworn translation?
It is an official translation done by a translator who is legally authorised to translate documents in South Africa and certify that their work is accurate and complete.
The translator formally declares, often through an oath, signature, stamp or written statement, that the translation accurately represents the original text. They also assume legal responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the translation.
In South Africa, sworn translators take an oath before a court, which gives them the authority to produce legally valid translations.
Sworn Translation: Mandatory Elements
- Certification statement: The translation must contain the wording “certified and true copy of the original.”
- Seal and signature: Every sworn translation includes the sworn translator’s seal and signature.
- Translator details: The translator must clearly list
- Full name
- The designation “sworn translator” (or “certified translator,” etc.)
- The language pair(s) for which their oath applies.
