What is an officially certified translation?

An officially certified translation for Switzerland must be signed by the translator or the manager at the notary's office. This means that a recognized translator or a recognized translation agency confirms with a stamp and signature that this translation corresponds to the document in the original language. In principle, the universities or the authorities accept a scanned copy of the officially certified copy.

Formal requirements for the translator:
