The Federation is open to state authorised translators. It was formed in 1932 and is Sweden’s oldest translator federation.

The Federation’s members

• possess unique competence and knowledge
• perform all types of advanced translations
• are bound by confidentiality prescribed in law and are under state supervision
• work in accordance with generally accepted professional ethical rules
• are entitled to use Kammarkollegiet’s official translator’s stamp for verification of translations
• represent more than 30 languages
• undertake assignments from government agencies, companies and private individuals

Certain translators are certified both into as well as from a language. Others are authorised to or from several languages. The state authorisation issued in Sweden is only valid for translations between Swedish and a foreign language.
