Definition

What is a sworn translation?

A sworn translation is produced by a translator who has taken an oath before the Ministry of Justice, which publishes the list of translators by language.

The translator attaches a signed and stamped statement of accuracy, which is what allows an authority or court to accept the translation. Each translator is sworn for specific languages, so we select the right one for your document.

Before translation

Apostille, legalisation and EU documents

Depending on where the document comes from, a formality may be needed before translation.

Document from an EU country

Under Regulation (EU) 2016/1191, many public documents are exempt from the apostille. Multilingual standard forms may even avoid translation.

Hague Convention country

The document must usually be apostilled in the issuing country. Neither the translator nor a notary can apply it.

Translation for use abroad

The translator's signature can be legalised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' legalisation office (€20, about 3 working days).

What is the difference between sworn, certified and official translation?

In Luxembourg, these usually mean the same thing: a translation signed and stamped by a translator sworn before the Ministry of Justice. Always check what the receiving authority requires.

Is a sworn translation made in Belgium or France accepted in Luxembourg?

Not automatically. Luxembourg authorities generally require a translator sworn in Luxembourg, which is why we use sworn translators in Luxembourg.

Do I need to send the original?

No. A clear scan or photo of all pages is enough, front and back, including stamps.

How long does it take?

For a short document, usually 24 to 72 working hours, plus postal delivery of the original.

How much does a sworn translation cost?

It depends on the document, language and urgency. For standard certificates, we offer a fixed price per document.

Does my document need an apostille?

It depends on the country of origin. EU documents are often exempt. For other countries, the apostille is obtained in the issuing country, before translation.
