What are Sworn Translations?

When We Need
Sworn translations?


Sworn translations are necessary in many situations, such as:

  1. Immigration Procedures: Foreigners applying for visas, permanent or temporary residence permits often need sworn translations of documents from their native language into the language of the country where they are applying for immigration status.

  2. Weddings and Marriages with Foreigners: If a marriage is concluded in Poland with a foreigner, a sworn translation of some documents is required, such as birth or marital status certificates.

  3. Agreements and Contracts: In situations where international agreements or contracts are concluded, documents must be sworn translated to have full legal validity.

  4. Enforcement of Foreign Documents: If Polish documents are to be recognized as valid abroad, their sworn translation into the target language of the country is often required.
