Sworn Translation of Birth Certificates: Everything You Need To Know
Do you need to submit a birth certificate in another country for residency, nationality, academic, or employment purposes? Sworn translation is an indispensable requirement in many international procedures, and at Translinguo Global, we offer you this service with the highest standards of quality and official validity.
What is a Sworn Translation of a Birth Certificate?
A sworn translation is an official translation carried out by a sworn translator appointed by Spain’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation (MAEC). This type of translation has legal validity and is signed and stamped by the sworn translator, certifying that the translation is a true and faithful rendering of the original.
As a legal document, a birth certificate requires this certification to be accepted by public authorities, embassies, universities, or other foreign institutions.
