Certified translations

A translation with the signature, stamp and declaration of the translator and which is attached to the source language text, is known as a certified translation.

Certified translations are carried out by certified translators. A certified translator is an individual who, on the basis of their education and experience, has sworn a professional oath in a court of law, after which they are authorised to translate certain official documents. Depending on the sort of document and its country of destination, the relevant authority can demand that the translation of such a document should be carried out by a certified translator.

As of 1 January 2009, a new law has come into effect for certified interpreters and translators and in which strict rules are laid down concerning the level of training, expertise and the continuous refresher training of certified translators. All of our certified translators are included in the new and officially acknowledged Register for Interpreters and Translators.
