What is a sworn translator?
A sworn translator (Polish: tłumacz przysięgły) is a specialist officially authorised by the state to produce certified translations of documents. These translations carry full legal force and are accepted by all government agencies, courts, embassies and official institutions.
In Poland, sworn translators are registered with the Ministry of Justice and are entitled to certify translations with an official seal, making documents valid for any official purpose.
Which documents can be translated?
A sworn translator can certify any document requiring official authentication:
- Personal documents: birth, marriage, death and divorce certificates, passports, driving licences
- Educational documents: diplomas, school-leaving certificates, academic transcripts
- Medical documents: medical reports, patient records, test results
- Legal documents: contracts, agreements, court rulings, powers of attorney
- Corporate documents: company statutes, certificates, licences
How much does sworn translation cost?
The price of a sworn translation depends on several factors:
- Document type and length
- Language pair
- Urgency of the order
- Complexity and specialist terminology
