English Certified Translation Bratislava | Official & Sworn Translations
Need a professional certified translation from English to Slovak (or Slovak to English) with full legal validity in Bratislava? We provide official sworn translations by court-appointed translators – complete with signature, registration number and the official round stamp.
What is an English certified translation?
A certified (also called sworn or official) translation is a translation stamped and signed by a sworn translator registered with the Ministry of Justice of the Slovak Republic. The document receives the translator's signature, unique ID number and the distinctive round official stamp. This makes it fully legally binding and accepted by all Slovak state authorities, embassies, universities, banks and courts.
In Slovakia the terms "certified translation", "sworn translation" and "official translation" mean exactly the same service.
