A written statement is a self-authored document in which a defendant, suspect, or witness outlines their position or recollection of events.

Unlike formal interrogation records created by courts or investigative agencies, a written statement may include personal notes or diary entries regardless of time or place. As statements are documents that describe the course of events and the positions of the parties involved, it is essential that they be translated faithfully without paraphrasing.

This task requires translators with experience in legal, administrative, or criminal investigation fields—rather than translation in literature—who can objectively convey factual content.

Moreover, understanding the legal systems, linguistic structures, and cultural backgrounds of both the country of origin and the country in which the document will be used is essential for accurate and unambiguous communication.

At 1StopKorea, legal translators and reviewers with both technical terminology expertise and contextual awareness work to ensure every written statement is translated with precision and care.
