The term Penerjemah Tersumpah may
not be familiar to the public. Who is the penerjemah tersumpah. What is the
difference between a penerjemah tersumpah and a translator who is not sworn / a
penerjemah biasa?
Penerjemah Tersumpah is those
translators who have passed the qualifying translator swear exam. This swearing
translator exam was organized by the Faculty of Cultural Sciences, University
of Indonesia together with the DKI Jakarta government. Translators who pass are
translators with an A (value 80 and above). The translator who passes will be
sworn in by the Governor by giving a Decree as a sworn translator. With the
decree owned by the translators, they can officially practice as penerjemah tersumpah.
Penerjemah Tersumpah has the
specification of the translated document, which is legal documents. Penerjemah
Tersumpah translate documents according to the source text. The translation
results are legally recognized. So that the legality is recognized because the
translation does not deviate from the original. These documents include:
diplomas, value transcripts, student report cards, learning outcomes reports,
student grades, Graduated letters, SKHUN, Birth certificates, Divorce Acts,
Company Establishment Deeds, Divorce Deed, Marriage Certificate, Marriage Book,

tersumpah is stamped and signed. Penerjemah Tersumpah usually register their
signatures or stamp on embassies in Jakarta to make it easier for the embassy
to validate the translation results through the stamp and signature that has
been registered. This will make it easier for users of translation services.

document. The results of the translation of the penerjemah tersumpah are
stamped and signed by the translator, whereas the translation of the translator
is normal, no. Regarding the quality of the translation of the penerjemah
tersumpah is not always better than the ordinary translator. Because their
