We adapt the translation to the specific submission requirement
When translating documents, it is important to preserve the legal meaning, names, dates, issuing authority and order of attachments. If the recipient requires an electronic or certified paper copy, tell us before work begins.
Document content
We look at names, personal data, the issuing authority, attachments and stamps.
Type of translation
We agree on whether a plain, agency-certified or notarised translation is needed.
Submission
We check whether the translation must be submitted together with the original, a copy or an apostille.
Document translation
Before translating, we clarify not only the text but also the required type of certification
Problems with document submission can arise even when the translation is correct if its type of certification does not meet the receiving authority’s requirements. Before starting, it is important to clarify the purpose of submission and where the document will be submitted.
Where you'll submit it

What kind of document
Civil status, education, legal and medical documents are assessed differently.
What deadline
The deadline depends on volume, language, certification and document availability.
