FAQs on Sworn Translations

1st line
Legal translation or sworn translation?
The boundaries separating these two types of documents are often confused, more because of the similarity of their names than because of their content. Legal translation refers to legal texts, i.e. civil law documents (divorce decrees, prenuptial agreements, wills, trusts), commercial law documents (company merger contracts, terms and conditions of sale) or criminal law documents (judgments, appeals). Sworn translation, on the other hand, is not limited to the legal sector, but covers all existing fields of expertise.

The purpose of a sworn translation is to give official status to a text, as stated in Royal Decree 2555/1977 of August 27, 1977. Consequently, documents as diverse as a psychological evaluation, a birth certificate, a patent, a notarial deed, a criminal record certificate or a family book can be found under the protection of a sworn translation. Financial translation is also a very common specialist field, which can fit into legal translation.

How much does a sworn translation cost?
The cost of a sworn translation depends on several factors: the language combination, the number of words or pages in the document, the complexity of the document and whether urgent delivery is required.

In general, the price of a sworn translation is usually higher than that of a normal translation due to the certification and legal liability involved.

Who can provide sworn translations in Spain?
The best translator, as always, will be the one who masters the field of expertise to which the text in question belongs. However, for a translation to have official value and become a sworn translation, the translator must also be recognized by an official authority. Therefore a translator becomes a sworn, official or expert translator, among other names.

Hence, sworn translators are those who are duly accredited as such to undertake the translation of texts of any branch and to confer legal value to them before the authorities of our country. This accreditation is obtained by passing an examination organised by the Office of Interpretation of Languages, which depends on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, and which meets these requirements:

  • Be of legal age in Spain.
  • Be a Spanish national or a national of an EU member state.
  • Hold a university degree (diploma or bachelor’s degree). If the translator already holds a foreign degree in another EU country, he/she can apply for such validation in order to become a sworn translator in Spain.

At BeTranslated, a translation agency in Valencia, we offer these services of sworn translators who can officiate your legal documents.

What characterises sworn translations?
A sworn translation needs to be done by an accredited translator, which in turn confers official validity to the document. To do so, the sworn translator stamps their seal and signature on it. Thus, documents translated by a sworn translator acquire legal value in the legal system and can be used as valid documentary evidence before any official body in administrative and judicial proceedings.
When is a sworn translation required?
The Civil Procedure Law 1/2000 establishes the need to accompany documents drafted in a foreign language with a Spanish translation. The law does not establish the mandatory condition that they be translated by a sworn translator but allows them to be translated by a private agency. However, in a hypothetical legal proceeding, the veracity of this translation could easily be called into question by one of the intervening parties, with its consequent rejection and prejudice to the party providing it.

In light of this reality, giving official value to a translated document is more a matter of convenience than of binding or obligatory nature, since a sworn translation will have a certification that is difficult to refute before a magistrate, a prosecutor or an opposing lawyer.

At BeTranslated we know the importance of providing an impeccable sworn translation service both in Valencia and in the rest of Spain.
