For individuals and companies needing English to Italian sworn translations, Natalia Bertelli stands out as a recognized expert in the field.

What is a sworn translation?
A sworn translation, or traduzione giurata in Italian, is a translation formally declared as faithful and accurate before an Italian court or authorized notary. The sworn translator signs an oath (asseverazione), attaching the original document, the translation, and the sworn statement in a bound set. Once sworn, the translation carries the same legal weight as the original document for official purposes.

Typical documents requiring sworn translations include:

• Birth, marriage, and death certificates,
• Criminal records and police clearances,
• Academic transcripts and diplomas,
• Contracts, powers of attorney, and corporate documents,
• Court rulings and legal filings.

Natalia Bertelli’s expertise in English→Italian sworn translations
My special focus is on legal and official documents. As an English→Italian sworn translator, I ensure that her translations are not only linguistically precise but also comply with Italian legal standards.

• Specialized legal translations: Contracts, court decisions, corporate statutes, and other complex documents.
