Sworn translations play a fundamental role in the legal recognition of documents in different countries. Whether for administrative procedures, judicial procedures or internationalization processes of companies, having a certified translation is essential. In this context, digitization has brought with it new tools that optimize and streamline these processes. One of the most outstanding novelties is the implementation of the electronic signature in the sworn translations, an advance that provides security, efficiency and legal validity.
Electronic signature in sworn translations: a step towards agility and security
Traditionally, sworn translations required the translator’s handwritten signature and its official stamp on each printed document. However, with digital transformation, the growing need for online procedures is special in the wake of the pandemic, the electronic signature has been consolidated as a valid and safe alternative. This innovation allows sworn translations to be digitally signed and sent in electronic format, facilitating their presentation to official bodies without the need for physical copies..
Recently, the Official State Gazette (BOE) published the Order AUC/213/2025, of February 26, which regulates the use of the electronic signature for the certification of the actions of the translators-interpreters, sworn translators and sworn interpreters. This new provision marks an important milestone in the digitization of sworn translation services in Spain. Now, professionals will be able to certify their translations electronically with the support of the law. We invite you to read the complete order at the following link: https://lnkd.in/ddtkhgat
Benefits of the electronic signature in sworn translations
- LEGAL VALIDITY: In many countries, the regulations already recognize the electronic signature as equivalent to the handwritten signature, guaranteeing the authenticity of the document.
- speed and efficiency: By eliminating the need for physical shipping, customers can receive their translations in less time, expediting administrative processes.
- Greater security: The advanced electronic signature incorporates cryptographic mechanisms that prevent alteration of the document and verify its authenticity.
- Sustainability: The use of paper and other resources is reduced, contributing to a more ecological and responsible management.
At Nuadda we have adopted this practice for a long time, to offer a more agile and efficient service to our clients. We ensure that every sworn translation complies with the required legal and safety standards. Of course, the option of printing a copy on paper is always offered.
