Legal document translation is a high-stakes task. A single mistranslation in a contract, court ruling, or power of attorney can invalidate a legal procedure, delay an administrative process, or expose a business to serious liability. At Legal Translation, every document is handled by a sworn translator, ensuring your translation is officially certified and accepted by courts, notaries, embassies, and government authorities worldwide.
Our fully online service lets you order a certified legal translation in minutes — securely, transparently, and starting from just €20.
What Legal Documents Can We Translate?
Our sworn translators cover a comprehensive range of legal documents, including:
- Criminal record certificates — required for employment, visa applications, naturalisation, or foreign court proceedings
- Court judgments and legal decisions — essential for cross-border litigation, enforcement of foreign rulings, or international arbitration
- Contracts and legal documents — employment agreements, NDAs, commercial contracts, lease agreements, and international business documents
- Powers of attorney and articles of incorporation — required for company registration, notarial acts, or legal representation abroad
Every certified translation is delivered with the official stamp and signature of a registered sworn translator, giving it full legal validity before any competent authority.

Why Legal Translation Requires a Sworn Specialist
Law is not universal. Each jurisdiction has its own legal concepts, institutional structures, and terminology — many of which have no direct equivalent in another language. A general translator may produce a grammatically correct text that is legally meaningless or misleading to a foreign authority.
Our legal translators bring:
- Deep knowledge of civil, commercial, and criminal law terminology in both source and target languages
- Expertise in bridging civil law and common law conceptual differences
- Familiarity with the formal requirements of French, EU, and international authorities
According to the American Translators Association (ATA), legal translation is among the most specialised disciplines in the field, requiring both linguistic fluency and substantive knowledge of the relevant legal system — a standard our translators meet on every assignment.
