The demands of official translation in Monaco
In an international environment like the Principality of Monaco, simply translating a document is not always enough. To ensure that your foreign official documents, diplomas, contracts or judgments are recognized by the Monegasque authorities (or vice versa), a sworn translation is essential.
At M Traduction in Monaco, we specialize in official translations. Our commitment: to provide private individuals and professionals with an impeccable service, in line with legal requirements and marked by absolute confidentiality.
What is a sworn translator in Monaco?
A sworn translator (or expert translator) is a language professional officially certified by a Court of Appeal (in France or Monaco). Sworn translators have the power to certify that a translation is faithful and accurate to the original document.
The legal value of a certified translation
A translation is considered official or certified when it is :
- Signed, stamped and dated by the Sworn Translator.
- Legally recognized by authorities, courts and consulates in Monaco and abroad.
- The guarantee that the translated content has the same probative value as the source document.
Please note: For residency applications, marriages, company registrations or any legal proceedings in Monaco, a translation produced by an automatic (online) service or a non-sworn translator will be systematically refused.
When do I need a sworn translation in Monaco?
A sworn translation in Monaco is required in many cases, mainly to validate a personal or professional status with a government authority:
| Domain | Examples of documents |
|---|---|
| Civil & Personal Status | Birth, marriage and death certificates, family records, identity cards, passports, driving licenses. |
