Sworn and certified translations are provided only by sworn translators, entered in the Register of Sworn Translators kept by the Polish Ministry of Justice. In order to be registered on the ministerial list, a translator must successfully pass the state examination for sworn translators. In Poland, the legal basis for practicing this profession is the Act on the Profession of Sworn Translator, in force since 27 January 2005. Among the institutions which require submission of sworn or certified translations are: offices, courts, prosecutor’s offices or the police.
