Frequently Asked Questions
A sworn translation agency, such as AB Traduction, is made up of professional translators appointed by the Court of Appeal and the Courts. They are authorised to translate official documents and to certify the conformity of translated documents. They are therefore recognised and accepted by French and foreign authorities..
A certified translation is a translation that has been produced, signed and stamped by a sworn translator appointed by the Court of Appeal and the Courts. It guarantees that the translation is true to the original document, and therefore has the same legal value.
On the other hand, an ordinary translation has no legal value, even if it is carried out by a professional and experienced translator. Even if the translator has linguistic skills, he or she is not authorised by the courts to certify the conformity of translated document.
To translate an official document and preserve its legal value, you need to call on the services of a sworn translation agency such as AB Traduction. We are a group of sworn translators appointed by the Court of Appeal and the Courts, authorised to certify the conformity of translated documents.
No, you do not need to call on sworn translators appointed by the Court of Appeal and the Courts in your geographical area.
You are free to choose the agency of your choice, wherever it is located. For example, if you live in Marseille, you can call on our agency based in Lille. Our sworn translators can translate all your official documents, wherever you are in France or in the world.
AB Traduction also offers certified translations that are recognised and accepted throughout France and abroad.
No, you cannot change the information in the source document for a sworn translation.
The aim of a sworn translation is to guarantee the accuracy and integrity of the translated document, whatever its nature. The sworn translator therefore ensures that both the form and content of the source document are preserved. Any modification of the document would compromise the validation of the translation and therefore its official status.
If the source document presents a mistake or inaccuracies, we advise you to request a correction or an update from the appropriate authority before requesting a sworn translation.
