Certified translations are translations that have been reviewed and certified as accurate by a professional translator. This type of translation is often used for official documents, such as legal contracts, birth certificates, and other documents that need to be recognized by a government agency or other official body. Sworn translations, on the other hand, are translations that have been reviewed and certified by a translator who has been sworn in by a court of law. This type of translation is often used in legal proceedings, such as when a document needs to be submitted as evidence in court.
