Sworn/certified translations
We know how stressful legal and bureaucratic processes can be. Our aim is to make certified translations the easiest part of your experience.
We translate diplomas and certificates, official documents, powers of attorney, medical reports, and other official documents. You must have a translation with a stamp for courts and other state institutions. Our sworn translators issue these stamps along with your translation.
Let our expertise and efficiency help you – contact us for more details.
- A 100% match with the original text and a sworn translator’s stamp for state institutions and courts.
- Correct terminology for that specific translation.
- Our sworn translators are appointed by the Czech Ministry of Justice, in accordance with Act No. 354/2019 Coll., on experts and translators.
Certified Electronic Translation
A certified electronic translation is a modern alternative to a traditional hard-copy sworn translation. It is delivered in PDF/A format and secured with the translator’s qualified electronic signature and a timestamp. Just like the physical version, it includes the original document, the translation, and the official translator’s certification clause. The key advantage? It can be delivered via email or other electronic means—making the process faster and more cost-effective.
-
This type of translation requires both the client’s consent and the sworn translator’s authorization to produce electronic certified translations.
-
Its legal validity is typically 5 years (depending on the validity of the translator’s timestamp), but it can be extended upon request.
-
During its period of validity, the electronic translation can be converted into paper form—repeatedly if needed—via any Czech POINT office.
