    Sworn translations are prepared by professional legal translators. The formatting matches the original document exactly, including stamps, seals, and handwritten notes.
  • The sworn certification.
    This statement confirms the translation is accurate. It is signed by the translator and sworn before an Italian court official, who applies the official seal.
