Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about sworn translations

A sworn translation (tłumaczenie przysięgłe) is an official translation performed by a sworn translator appointed by the Ministry of Justice. It bears the translator's seal and signature, confirming its legal validity and conformity with the original document. These translations are often required for legal, administrative, and official purposes.

You typically need a sworn translation for documents presented to government authorities, courts, universities, banks, or other official institutions, both in Poland and abroad. This includes birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, legal contracts, powers of attorney, court documents, and vehicle registration papers.

I translate a wide range of documents including official certificates (birth, marriage, death), diplomas, academic transcripts, legal contracts, court rulings, powers of attorney, corporate documents, and vehicle registration documents. All translations are done with utmost precision and according to legal requirements.

The turnaround time depends on the length and complexity of the document, as well as current workload. Standard documents can often be translated within 1-3 business days. For urgent requests, express services are available. I always provide an estimated delivery time with your quote.

The cost of a sworn translation is calculated per page (1125 characters with spaces, as per Polish Ministry of Justice regulations) or based on a specific project quote. The price also depends on the complexity of the text and the urgency of the service. Please send your document for a free, no-obligation quote.
