What is a sworn translation?
A sworn translator is an official translator authorized to translate legal and administrative documents for formal purposes. The translation is provided with an official stamp and signature, making it suitable for visas, educational, business, and international legal documents.
For official translations, Wordsmith Group offers sworn translations performed by professional and experienced sworn translators.

Why should residents of Medan hire a sworn translator?
Engaging an official translation service makes the application process safer and less problematic. Here are a few more reasons:
1. Prevent document rejection
Many embassies only accept documents translated by a sworn translator. If documents do not comply with regulations, they may be rejected, and the visa procedure may be delayed.
2. Ensure accurate terminology
Official documents contain many administrative and legal terms that cannot simply be translated. Even a minor error can have consequences for the visa application or university administration.
3. Faster processing
Documents that meet the standards are generally easier for the embassy or the destination institution to process, making the administrative process more efficient.
