Some authorities explicitly ask for a translation by a court-sworn translator. You can get that from us too – without having to find one yourself.
What is behind it
A sworn translator has taken an oath before a court on the accuracy of their translations. Translations by sworn translators can be suitable for many authorities even without notarisation. In Switzerland, practice is generally not uniform – which form is required differs depending on the authority, the case and the procedure.
How we solve it
We work with sworn translators, particularly for English translations. You upload your document, tell us the receiving authority, and we assign the right person to it. If an office certification is enough instead, or a notarised translation is needed, we will tell you openly – you never pay for more than is necessary.
The process
Just like any order: upload a scan, receive a binding quote with a fixed price and delivery date within 30 minutes, confirm. Delivery by post, registered mail or as a PDF – with express service also in 12 to 24 hours.
Good to know: We offer every type of certification – from office certification and notarisation through to apostille, super-legalisation and QES. We are happy to recommend the right form for you as soon as we have seen your documents and learned about your case – drawing on our many years of experience. The final word always rests with the competent authorities; if you have any questions about this, we are glad to help at any time.
FAQ
How do I know whether my receiving authority requires a sworn translator?＋
It is usually stated in the authority's guidelines – and if not, we will enquire for you. Just tell us where you are submitting the document. The final, binding decision always rests with the receiving authority.
Which languages do you offer this for?＋
For English in particular, we work with experienced sworn translators. Ask us about your language combination without obligation – we will quickly tell you what is possible.
Is this more expensive than a normal certified translation?＋
That depends on the document and the language combination. You receive a binding quote with a fixed price within 30 minutes – free of charge and without obligation.
