Definition & legal framework

What is a sworn translation in Italian?

A translator registered with a Court of Appeal carries out the sworn translation italian. This registration confers on him the status of legal expert and enables him to officially certify the conformity of the translation to the original document.

To check the registration of a legal expert :
cours-appel.justice.fr

The translation includes :

📜 Official certification statement
✒️ Secure handwritten or electronic signature
🔏 Professional stamp with registration number
📎 Faithful reproduction of numbers, dates, references and marginalia
⚖️ Professional liability

⚠️ In Italy, certain procedures require a translation with asseverazione (sworn before an Italian court). You should therefore check beforehand whether the authority is requesting :

“traduzione giurata?” or “traduzione asseverata in Italia?”.”

The authorities ask for it in particular to

🛂 Italian naturalisation (citizenship jure sanguinis)
🏠 Buying or inheriting property in Italy
🎓 University enrolment
⚖️ Legal proceedings
💼 Setting up a company in Italy
🏦 Opening a bank account
👨‍👩‍👧 Transcription of civil status records

🏛️ Notary, real estate & inheritance

Italian notaries require legally consistent translations.

Specific legal issues

Italian law differs from French law in several respects:

Usufruct → usufrutto
Undivided → comunione dei beni or comproprietà
Legal community → regime di comunione legale
Deed of notoriety → atto notorio

An automated translation may be rejected by an Italian notary or court.

Apostille & acceptation en Italie

La sworn translation italian is sufficient in many cases. However, as Italy is a signatory to the Hague Convention, an apostille may be required on the original document.
