A legal translation is translation of documents that is required by the civil and criminal justice system. In short, whenever a foreign document is needed for legal matters in court, it undergoes legal translation. Translation of documents is required to avoid mistakes and stress. Such documents include certificates of death, marriage and birth; service agreements and sales contracts; trademarks and copyrights; real estate leases and titles; insurance policies; permits; adoption papers; last wills and statements; immigration documents; passports; laws and regulations; powers of attorney; legal disclaimers; affidavits; contracts; arbitration and litigation documents; trademark and patent filings; registration documents; letters of credits; confidentiality; depositions; and licenses.
In countries such as Sweden, South Africa, Norway, Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela, Turkey, Romania, Poland, Czech Republic, Portugal, Netherlands, Austria, Italy, Germany, France and Spain, a sworn translator is the only one empowered to carry out legal translation. A sworn translator is one who periodically takes exams provided by a certification body of a country. Once they pass the exams and get certified, they are the ones allowed to stamp their translation work.
A legal translation only becomes official after a professional agency certifies or notarizes the translated document with the official stamp from a specific country. A certified translation includes a document that attests the validity of translation. On the other hand, a notarized translation comes with an official certificate from a qualified legal representative.
