⚖️Legal framework in Algeria

The sworn translator (official translator-interpreter) operates under Ministry of Justice accreditation. They take an oath before the court and their stamp gives their translations official value enforceable before Algerian and foreign administrations and courts. The non-sworn translator does not hold this official status: their translations are valid for any private or professional use, but are not recognized by administrations for official documents. On MIZAN, a badge clearly indicates whether a translator is sworn.

When to call a translator?

Visa or immigration procedure

Consulates require sworn translations of your civil records and supporting documents. Choose a sworn translator.

Diploma equivalence

An official translation of your diplomas, by a sworn translator, is required for any equivalence abroad.

Commercial or personal document

For a contract, website or correspondence with no official requirement, a non-sworn translator is enough.

Translator vs other professionals

Translator vs a non-sworn translator

Only the sworn translator can produce a translation with official value, recognized by administrations and courts. The non-sworn translator faithfully translates for all everyday uses that do not require an official stamp.

Translator vs the notary

The notary authenticates documents; the sworn translator produces the official version in another language.
