Sworn translation and document legalisation at Studio Interpreti Milano
For legal translations and other translations, where required, Studio Interpreti Milano provides sworn translation (asseveration) services and the validation of sworn translations (document legalisation and application of Hague apostille) for use abroad in courts, consulates, the offices of public prosecutors, notaries and public officials.
Studio Interpreti Milano can provide sworn translations of documents in any language and intended for use in any country.
For this service, we refer to our local public offices in our home city Milan, or in any other city or country, thanks to our collaboration with sworn translators all over the world, also as part of the wider network of our parent agency SMG.
Where there is no need for a sworn translation or asseveration before a public official, Studio Interpreti Milano can still provide, on request, its own certification of quality for the translation produced. This certification can also be drafted in a foreign language, for use abroad.
How does asseveration and document legalisation at the Court of Milan or other Italian courts work?
The translator makes an oath, in the form of a signed statement of responsibility attached to the translated document, before a public official at the court registry office. The Hague apostille is, instead, a certificate that validates the authenticity of any public document and has full validity in all member countries of the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961.
When a client orders a sworn translation, it is essential that they provide Studio Interpreti Milano with the original document to be translated or a certified copy.
The original (or certified copy) will be attached to the translation and the signed oath, thus making up an indivisible dossier to be kept intact to preserve its value.
Studio Interpreti Milano shall take care of affixing the duty stamps required for the oath and validation. The client may be asked to provide these duty stamps together with the original document.
For sworn translations before the Court of Milan, we employ translators registered with the Register of Expert Witnesses of the Court (CTU) of Milan. It is important to note that in certain Italian cities, there is no requirement for translators to be on a professional register, instead each office may apply its own rules. Studio Interpreti Milano provides sworn translation and document legalisation services everywhere in Italy, contacting a suitable local translator who can guarantee quality work and prompt delivery.
