Why do a Sworn Translation?

The Sworn Translation is a document that has legal purposes and which is used in legal processes, registration of certificates and public deeds. It must comply with the formalities of the Board of Trade, for example, be translated on the official paper of the Sworn Translator, that is, a translator authorized by the Board of Trade, which confers the document a certified nature. It should also be presented in signed originals and with the notarized signature of the Sworn Translator. Cit assists its clients with clarity and honesty about which is the best type of translation to do.

What is a free translation?

The free translation is as correct and well done as a sworn translation. The difference is that it is not subject to the formalities of the Board of Trade. This gives the translator a little more freedom in his/her work, which can be easier and more pleasant to read. We at Cit treat the free and the sworn translations with the same attention and seriousness.
