When a translation into the national or a foreign language is requested to be legally valid, the intervention of a sworn (certified) translator is required, who, by affixing his/her signature and seal certifies the translation and is ethically and legally responsible for his/her work.

In the Republic of Argentina, any document written in a foreign language that has to be submitted before public agencies, departments or authorities must be accompanied by its sworn translation made by a duly certified sworn translator, the only professional with legal capacity to make a translation legally valid.

Documents that may require a sworn translation:

  •   Personal documents (entries of birth, death certificates, identity documents, Passports, certificates, etc.).

  •   Related to education (syllabuses, transcripts, diplomas).

  •   Notarial documents (powers of attorney, deeds, wills, records).

  •   Business documents (business papers, contracts, balance sheets, bylaws, minutes of shareholders or board of directors’ meetings).

  •   Judgements, judicial files, letters rogatory, official letters.

  •   Technical and scientific documents, medical records, medical protocols, invention patents, bids.

General translations are those which do not need to have legal force, they may be legal, technical, commercial, literary or of any other kind and they require appropriate use of the terminology specific to every subject.

We count on the advice of experts in different fields of knowledge in order to ensure the accuracy of our translations.
