Sworn translation and legalisation

Sworn Translations before the Court of Rome

A sworn translation in Italy requires a court clerk to officially certify that the translated text is the faithful equivalent of the original text. Through this procedure, the translator assumes responsibility for the translated text by signing an oath statement before the court clerk.

AlfaBeta’s translators can carry out sworn translations of deeds and documents at the Court of Rome, and then legalise them at the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Rome (Procura della Repubblica di Roma) or at foreign embassies:

Documents for international adoptions
Judgements of divorce
Legal proceedings in foreign courts
Summons
etc.

Legalisation

If the translation is to be used abroad, it becomes necessary to legalise the signature of the court clerk who witnessed the oath statement, by turning to the foreign country’s embassy or consulate in Italy. For use in the States adhering to the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961, double legalisation is replaced by the affixation of an Apostille, carried out by the Public Prosecutor’s Office at the local court.
