How it works

Everything happens remotely, starting from a scan. You do not need to post the original document, go to a court, or come to us.

The four steps

Choose your document and the language pair. Each document has its own page, with the price and the language menu. The quantity to enter is the number of pages.
Upload the scan. We need a readable scan or photo of the complete document: every page, the stamps, the handwritten notes and, if there is one, the apostille page. We check the document and confirm the pages, the total and the delivery date before we start.
The translator translates and swears. A sworn translator registered with the competent court of appeal translates the document, signs and stamps the translation and declares that it is faithful to the document received.
You receive the PDF. The signed and stamped translation arrives by email within 24 to 48 working hours for a standard document. You can add the paper copy by post if the office asks for it on paper.

What you receive

The full translation of the document, with the original layout kept and the stamps described.
The translator's statement, with their details, signature and stamp.
A PDF file to print or attach to an online application, with no limit on copies.

Who swears, and where

Our translators are sworn translators registered with the competent courts of appeal. The translation is sworn by the translator, who is answerable for its fidelity to the document received: this is the most common form for dealings with Comuni (town halls), Prefetture (provincial government offices), universities, consulates and employers.

Some procedures ask instead for an asseverazione before an Italian court, with a record of the oath and marche da bollo (revenue stamps): this happens mainly for Italian documents intended for use abroad, in court proceedings, or when the office states it explicitly. In that case we can arrange it on quote, in addition to the PDF translation.

Before you order, the advice is always the same: ask the receiving office what it accepts. The office is the one that decides, and one extra document costs less than starting a whole application again. The differences between the various forms are explained in the guide on sworn, asseverata, certified or legalised translation.

The city you live in changes nothing

The translation is done remotely and works the same way in Milan, Rome, Naples or outside Italy. There is nothing to collect in person: the PDF arrives by email and the paper copy, if you order one, arrives by post at the address you give us.

Turnaround

Standard delivery is within 24 to 48 working hours for a standard document. For a long file, we confirm the timing before we start. If you have a deadline coming up, write to us: we will tell you what is possible.

Documents and languages

We handle the documents most often asked for by Italian authorities, from the birth certificate to the criminal record certificate, from the driving licence to the degree certificate. The full list is in our services; if your document is not there, use the other document page.

The languages open are Italian to and from English, Spanish, French, German, Romanian and Arabic, and those six between themselves. For any other language, ask us for a quote.

Before you order

Prices are on the prices page: 30 € per page, paper copy 15 €.
If you are wondering whether your office takes the PDF or insists on paper, the answer is in when the PDF is enough.
If the document is meant for use abroad, read apostille and sworn translation: the apostille has to be requested before the translation.

1. Service provider

DOCUTRAD, société par actions simplifiée (SAS) incorporated under French law with a share capital of €1,000, registered with the Paris Trade and Companies Register (RCS de Paris) under No. 106 245 426, with its registered office at 78 avenue des Champs-Élysées, Bureau 326, 75008 Paris (France), trading in Italy under the Giuradoc brand. Contact: info@giuradoc.it. Full details in the Legal notice.

2. Purpose of the service

The service consists of the sworn translation of the document provided by the client, carried out by a sworn translator who signs and stamps it and certifies that it is faithful to the document received. The translation is produced from the scan or photo uploaded by the client and is delivered in PDF format by email.

The following optional services are available: a paper copy sent by post and, on quote, a translation certified against the original document (which requires the original to be sent) and the apostille or legalisation.

The provider plays no part in the decisions of the receiving authority and does not guarantee acceptance of the document where this depends on requirements unrelated to the translation, such as legalisation, the apostille or the validity of the original.

3. Orders

The client chooses the document, specifies the source and target languages, uploads the file and confirms the order. The contract is concluded upon the order confirmation sent by email. If the file proves illegible or the number of pages does not match what was stated, the provider contacts the client before starting work.

4. Prices

The applicable prices are those shown on the page of each service at the time of ordering, expressed in euros and inclusive of taxes. The billing unit is the page, meaning each written side of the document, including stamps, annotations and apostilles. If the document requires a price adjustment, the provider confirms it with the client before work begins. Optional services are invoiced separately.

6. Delivery times

The delivery time is 24-48 business hours for a standard document. For long documents, less common languages or services on quote, the delivery time is communicated to the client before work begins. Delivery times run from confirmation of payment and receipt of a legible and complete document. Postal delivery times are additional.

7. Right of withdrawal

As a general rule, consumers have fourteen (14) days to withdraw from the contract without giving any reason, pursuant to Article 52 of the Italian Consumer Code (Legislative Decree No. 206 of 6 September 2005).

A sworn translation is, however, a service tailored to the client's document. Consequently:

if the client expressly requests that performance begin before the end of the withdrawal period and acknowledges that they will lose this right once the service has been fully performed, the exclusion provided for in Article 59(1)(a) of the Consumer Code applies;

as the service is clearly personalised, the exclusion in Article 59(1)(c) also applies.

As long as the translator has not started work, the order can be cancelled with a full refund. To exercise the right of withdrawal, simply notify info@giuradoc.it.

10. Liability

The provider's liability is limited to the proper performance of the translation ordered. The provider is not liable for damage resulting from late submission attributable to the client, from the absence of an apostille or legalisation on the original, or for the acceptance criteria of any authority. Nothing in this clause excludes liability that the law imposes on a mandatory basis towards consumers.
