1. What is sworn translation
Sworn translation is a document translation certified with the seal and signature of a tłumacz przysięgły registered with the Ministry of Justice. Every page is numbered — it is an official document, not a translation for understanding.

Notarial certification
2. When you need it — and when you don't
Submitting to an official body — sworn required. Reading for yourself — regular is enough.
Sworn required:
- Karta pobytu, voivodeship office, court
- Marriage or birth registration at USC
- Employment requiring a translated diploma
- University admission or diploma nostrification
- Driver's license exchange
Regular is enough:
- Reading a lease for yourself
- Messenger chat
- CV without document requirements
Important!
3. Why packages get returned: common mistakes
Most rejections are due to incorrect translation, not document content.
- Submitted regular translation instead of sworn
- Translator not accredited for your language pair
- No seal or page numbering
- Names don't match passport
- Translated an expired certificate
