As a form of official translation, it is recognized only in civil law countries like France, Spain, Germany, and Italy, where government-appointed sworn translators provide legally binding translations. These translations include a sworn statement, signed before a legal official, attesting to their accuracy. In contrast, common law countries like the US and UK do not have sworn translation but use certificates of translation for official purposes. You'll also find Certified Translation in Japan.
