SWORN
Sworn translation services
We do sworn translations to & from French/English of documents for official or legal purposes.
A sworn translator has sworn an oath in the High Court of South Africa to “translate faithfully and correctly, to the best of [their] knowledge and ability”. To ensure that a translation is recognised as a sworn translation, sworn translators stamp and sign every page of their translations and add a statement certifying that it “is a true translation of the original”.
A sworn translation of a document is the legal equivalent of the original document for evidentiary purposes in a court of law.
Sworn translators carry a heavy responsibility, because their work can have life-changing consequences for the people involved. Sworn Translations can only be done upon presentation of the original document that needs translating
