Traduzioni giurate e legalizzate per la residenza a Malta. Agenzia di traduzioni ufficiale

In today’s international context, the correct management of official documents is an essential requirement for citizens and businesses. Malta, as a member of the European Union, requires that deeds and certificates from abroad be in a format that complies with local regulations. In this scenario, a certified translation agency becomes a strategic partner to ensure that every document is accepted without hindrance by the competent authorities.

Sworn, legalised and apostilled translations: what do they really mean?

Many clients are unsure about the differences between sworn translations, legalised translations and apostilled translations.

• Sworn translation: it is a translation made official by an oath taken before a court or a notary by the person who made it.
• Legalised translation: is a translation made by a professional (or a company) registered in a list of translators of proven competence filed with the public authority of their country and which bears the data (such as signature and stamp) of the translator guaranteeing its full legal validity. It is often inaccurately used as a synonym for sworn translation.
• Apostilled translation: in addition to the oath or the legalisation, the translated document is further authenticated through an Apostille. This is a certification provided by the 1961 Hague Convention and issued by a competent authority to simplify cross-border bureaucratic procedures. This step is critical to making sure documents are accepted by public administrations around the world. This step is crucial to ensure that documents are accepted by extra-EU and, sometimes, also EU and Maltese public administrations.

All these procedures ensure that you can use any type of official document, such as birth certificates, diplomas, notarial deeds, contracts and corporate documents when travelling or moving to Malta or another EU Member State.

Apostilles and visas for entry into Malta

Another area where legalised translation is indispensable concerns visas for entry into Malta. Non-EU citizens who intend to move, work or study on the island must submit translated and legalised documents. Legalisation ensures that such documents are recognised and valid to be presented to Maltese embassies or consulates abroad, to obtain visa issuance.

Our translation agency assists clients at every stage: from sworn translation to legalisation, up to the delivery of the document ready for use at Maltese diplomatic representations.

Hard copy or digital copy?

For several years now, digital documents have assumed the same legal validity as paper documents. Being able to receive the digital copy of a legalised translation offers a fast, inexpensive (and environmentally friendly!) option; however, it is important to note that the Maltese authorities expressly require a paper copy. Before sending the digital or paper copy, the Traducendo team will review the translated documents and then send the file to the client to verify the correctness of the personal data entered, especially in the case of languages that have diacritics, special characters or use a non-English alphabet, such as Arabic, Thai, Polish, Romanian or even simply Spanish and sometimes even Italian. Once we have received the confirmation from the customer, we will put signatures and stamps on the documents so that they can be accepted by the competent authority, and then we will proceed to ship or hand-deliver them.

Delivery methods: pick up in Sliema or free shipping to Malta

The documents can be collected in person in Sliema at a convenient location. Alternatively, we offer free home delivery throughout Malta. For customers residing in other countries, it is possible to arrange the delivery of documents by courier. However, Maltese Embassies and Consulates also accept digital copies, reducing the organisational and financial costs of the procedures.
