Document Translation by Country

Whether a document will be accepted is decided not by the country that prepares it but by the country that receives it. Australia rejects any translation without NAATI accreditation; the United States has no sworn translator system at all; Italy asks for a Dichiarazione di valore with education applications. We have compiled the rules of 70 countries.
