Definition

What is a sworn translator?

A sworn translator is a judicial expert appointed by a court of appeal after taking an oath. They are authorised to produce so-called certified translations: each translation bears their stamp, signature and official statements attesting that it is a true rendering of the source document.

This is the form of translation expected by French authorities for official documents written in a foreign language: civil status records, criminal records, driving licences, diplomas, judgments or notarial deeds.

In practice, the terms sworn translation, certified translation and official translation all mean the same thing in France: a translation produced by an expert registered on the list of a court of appeal.

Questions about sworn translation

How can I check that an Albanian translator is really sworn?

Each court of appeal publishes the official list of its judicial experts. Hysni Bajraktari appears on the list of experts at the Douai Court of Appeal, available on the official website of the French courts of appeal.

Is the translation valid throughout France?

Yes. A translator sworn in at a court of appeal is authorised nationwide: the certified translation is presented to authorities across the whole country, not only within the Douai jurisdiction.

Do I need to send the original document?

No, a readable scan or a sharp photo is enough in most cases to produce the certified translation. Some authorities may ask to see the original source document: check with the receiving organisation.

What is the difference between a sworn and a certified translation?

None in practice: in France, both expressions refer to a translation produced by a judicial expert registered at a court of appeal, bearing their stamp and signature.

In what format will I receive my sworn translation?

You receive a signed PDF as soon as the translation is completed, followed by the certified paper copy by post. Many authorities accept the PDF while waiting for the paper original.
