Certified Translation in Morocco: What You Need to Know
Certified translation in Morocco — usually called sworn translation — is required for any official Moroccan document submitted to a foreign administration or court.
Which documents typically need it?
- Birth, marriage or death certificates
- Criminal record certificates
- Diplomas and academic transcripts
- Contracts and court rulings
- Banking and commercial documents
How does the process work?
You send us the document (a photo or scan) for a quote, confirm the price and turnaround time, then provide the original or a certified copy for the final translation, which carries the sworn translator's stamp and signature.
How long does it take?
For a single-document file, delivery is usually within 24 hours. Larger files take a little longer, and we always confirm the timeline upfront.

What a sworn translation from Tanger Traductions includes
Every sworn translation carries the translator's seal, signature and date and faithfully reproduces the original: proper names, dates, stamps and legible handwritten notes. We work between Spanish, French, English and Arabic, in both directions.
Three checks before translating
- Ask the receiving body whether it also requires an apostille or legalisation.
- Bring the original or a certified copy, not a plain photocopy.
- Make sure names match the passport and tell us the exact spelling if there are variants.
