Frequently asked questions
Must the entire court judgment be translated?
The receiving authority decides; do not translate only an extract without its approval.
Are stamps and endorsements translated?
Yes, relevant endorsements, stamps and signature notes are included.
Can I send a scan?
Yes, a high-quality scan is suitable for review and starting the translation.
When is a notarised translation needed?
A notarised translation is needed when the institution requires an officially certified translation rather than a simple text translation. We check the required certification before processing the order.
Can I send the document online?
