Italian Legal Translation at BeTranslated
Italy's civil law system is rooted in Roman law traditions and uses highly formalized legal language that requires expert handling. Our Italian legal translators have a background in Italian law, with experience across Italian civil courts, notarial practice, and EU institutional requirements. When a deposition, hearing or notarial deed is handled in person in Italy, our Milan interpreting services provide legal interpreters for Italian and English.
More about Italian Legal Translation
For due diligence calls and board meetings, you can add professional interpreting services in Italian, so you deal with one agency for the spoken and the written side. Court orders, powers of attorney and corporate records filed with a US notary or an Italian Comune may need professional certified translations, and the receiving office, not the translator, decides on acceptance.

Italian Legal Translation: Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide Italian legal translations for Italian courts and notaries?
Yes. We work with sworn translators (traduttori giurati) recognized by Italian courts and produce translations with the required certification statement and official stamp.
Can you translate Italian legal documents for use in the UK or US?
Yes. We regularly translate Italian legal documents for use in English-speaking jurisdictions, including notarial acts, court orders, and corporate documents required for international transactions.
How do you handle the formal register of Italian legal texts?
Italian legal language uses a highly formal register with archaic constructions. Our translators are trained to render this into equally precise legal English without simplifying or domesticating the content.
Do you cover the legal terminology differences between Italy, San Marino, and Swiss Italian jurisdictions?
Yes. Italian civil law is rooted in the Codice Civile, but Swiss Italian (Canton Ticino and the Grigioni valleys) applies the Swiss OR and ZGB, while San Marino has its own distinct corpus of law.
A contratto di locazione drafted in Milan reads differently from a Swiss Italian equivalent. We match the translator to the destination jurisdiction and apply the correct statutory vocabulary, notarial conventions, and procedural terminology throughout.
What is the difference between a sworn (asseverata) and a certified Italian translation?
A sworn translation (traduzione asseverata or giurata) is produced by a traduttore giurato who swears an oath before an Italian tribunale. The oath gives the translation legal standing before Italian courts, notaries, and government bodies.
A certified translation uses a signed Certificate of Accuracy from a competent translator and is the format required by USCIS, UK authorities, and most non-Italian institutions. We deliver whichever format the receiving authority requires.
