Why certified and sworn translation is essential for marriage certificates
Marriage certificates are legal documents, and any incorrect or incomplete translation can cause:
• Rejected applications
• Administrative delays
• Additional costs
• Legal inconsistencies
• Misalignments in names, dates or terminology
• Repeated submissions to authorities
Because marriage certificates often serve as proof of identity, marital status or family relationship, their translation must be accurate, complete and legally compliant.
Our certified and sworn translations include all required elements:
• Translator’s certification statement or oath
• Signature and stamp (country-specific)
• Exact reproduction of all names, dates and legal terminology
• Formatting faithful to the original document
• Clear indication of seals, stamps, margins and handwritten notes
This ensures full acceptance by official institutions.

Certified vs. sworn translations
Different countries use specific legal terminology for official translations:
Certified translation
A translator certifies that the translation is accurate and complete. Required in countries such as the United States, United Kingdom and Canada.
Sworn translation
A translator who is officially appointed by a court or government authority provides the translation. Common in Germany, Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands and several other countries.
Notarized translation
Certification is completed before a notary public. Sometimes required for international submissions.
