Sworn translation for EU countries
Some EU countries recognise only a sworn translation — produced by a sworn (court) translator on an official register. We arrange this through partners abroad.
Sworn translation is an institution of foreign law: the translator takes an oath in the relevant country and may certify translations with their own seal. Ukraine has no such status, so a “sworn translation” is not produced directly in Odesa — it is done by sworn translators in the destination country.
We advise what your institution actually requires — sworn translation, notarial certification or apostille — and, where needed, arrange sworn translation through trusted partners in Poland, Germany, Czechia and elsewhere.
Frequently asked
How does sworn translation differ from notarised translation?
A notarised translation in Ukraine means the notary certifies the authenticity of the translator’s signature. Sworn translation is a foreign institution: a sworn translator in their own country certifies the translation with their own seal. Documents filed with EU institutions often require a sworn translation — we arrange it through partners.
