Translation Agency in Geneva: Sworn Documents for OCPM and International Organizations (Online)

Geneva is the diplomatic capital of the world, home to the UN, WHO, and hundreds of international organizations. For Ukrainians who have found refuge under Schutzstatus S (Protection Status S) or work in the global private sector, life in Geneva requires high precision in paperwork. The official language of the canton is French.

The Canton of Geneva strictly requires documents to be officially certified. Interacting with the Cantonal Office for Population and Migration (OCPM - Office cantonal de la population et des migrations), the Civil Registry Office (Office de l'état civil), or banks demands a Sworn Translation (Traduction Jurée). Simple translations are invalid. "Admiral" Translation Agency in Geneva offers a fully remote service, providing legitimate documents at competitive prices that meet the requirements of all cantonal and federal authorities (SEM).

Translation Specifics in Geneva: Traduction Jurée

In contrast to German-speaking Switzerland, the Canton of Geneva relies on the institution of the Sworn Translator.

1. Sworn Translation (Traduction Jurée)

For official use in Geneva, the translation must be performed by a translator who is authorized by the Cantonal Court of Justice. The Document: The translation is signed, stamped with the translator's official seal, and inseparably stitched to the original or a certified copy (copie certifiée conforme). This certification by the authorized translator is usually sufficient for the OCPM. We cooperate with Traducteurs Jurés recognized by the Geneva judicial system.

2. Language Requirement

Official documents for the canton must be in French. We guarantee the correct use of French legal and administrative terminology.

3. Apostille (Apostille)

Switzerland is strict about the initial legalization of source documents. All Ukrainian official documents must have an Apostille stamp. Without it, the OCPM or Office de l'état civil will reject the document for processing. We provide the "turnkey" service: Apostille in Ukraine + Sworn Translation in Geneva.
