Sworn translation of contracts and notarial deeds: everything you need to know

Do you need a sworn translation of a contract, notarial deed, power of attorney or property conveyance from English into Italian — or from Italian into English? Our firm brings together sworn translators and lawyers specialising in contract law, commercial law and private international law, ensuring that clauses, conditions, obligations and rights are rendered faithfully.

The sworn translation of contracts is essential whenever a legal document must have legal effect in another country: cross-border property transactions, international corporate operations, commercial disputes with foreign parties, and registration of rights abroad.

When do you need a sworn translation?

Cross-border property transactionsBuying or selling property abroad (or foreign nationals purchasing in Italy) requires sworn translations of the deed of sale, preliminary contract, land registry extracts and mortgage documents.
International commercial contractsDistribution agreements, licence agreements, joint ventures, franchise agreements, supply contracts, shareholder agreements — any contract involving parties in different countries may require sworn translation for validity in the counterparty’s jurisdiction.
International litigation and arbitrationIn cross-border court proceedings and arbitration, contracts are frequently submitted as documentary evidence. A sworn translation is mandatory for their admission before foreign courts and arbitral tribunals.
Powers of attorneyGeneral and specific powers of attorney must be sworn-translated to be used abroad — for example, to represent a party in a property transaction, a shareholders’ meeting or before a foreign court. The Italian procura notarile differs significantly from a common law power of attorney.
Employment contractsInternational employment contracts, secondment agreements, non-compete clauses and offer letters with cross-border elements (foreign employees in Italy, Italian employees posted abroad).
Lease agreementsFor registration of Italian leases abroad or for presenting foreign lease agreements in Italy — for tax purposes, residence permits or visa applications.
