How does a certified court translation into Slovak work?

A certified translation into Slovak is executed exclusively by an authorized sworn translator registered in the Register of Experts, Interpreters and Translators of the Ministry of Justice of the Slovak Republic. The finished translation is indivisibly bound with a tricolour ribbon to the source document and provided with a translator's clause and round state seal imprint.

  • Translation from foreign languages into Slovak with full legal validity across all Slovak public authorities, courts, and ministries.
  • Strict terminology accuracy corresponding to the legal system of the Slovak Republic.
  • Firm binding with tricolour ribbon to the foreign original or notary certified copy (upon client request, we can also bind the translation with an ordinary copy or scan; standard practice is binding directly with the original).
  • Official translator's clause with official register log number for full legal acceptance before public authorities, the Foreign Police, and courts.
