Polish certified translation stamped and sealed

What is a certified translation?

Stamped, sealed, and legally recognised

Certified translations are not just translated — they are stamped by a court-certified translator to prove they were done by a qualified professional. They use a special seal, follow strict procedural rules, and carry legal weight. This may seem formal, but it's a legal process that proves the translation's validity in the eyes of Polish authorities. Learn more about translators in Poland →

Questions

A certified Polish translation is one that has been translated and officially stamped by a sworn translator registered with the Polish Ministry of Justice. It includes a certification statement, an official seal, and a signature confirming that the translation is accurate and complete. This certification makes it legally valid for use with official bodies, courts, and government institutions.

In Poland, the terms "certified translation" and "sworn translation" (tłumaczenie przysięgłe) refer to the same thing. Both mean a translation produced and stamped by a translator who is officially registered on the Ministry of Justice list of sworn translators. Outside Poland, "certified translation" may sometimes refer to a standard translation accompanied by a signed certificate of accuracy — a lower level of certification not equivalent to a Polish sworn translation.

You need a certified translation when an official body — such as a court, government office, university, or immigration authority — requires proof that the translation was carried out by a qualified professional. Common situations include visa applications, registering a foreign company in Poland, submitting foreign qualifications, court proceedings, and notarial acts.

Yes. For a legally valid certified translation, we need the original document — either in person or sent to us by post. A sworn translator must verify the original before certifying the translation. We handle originals with care and return them to you safely along with the completed certified translation.

We provide certified translations between Polish and virtually any European language, including English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish, Czech, Slovak, Romanian, Hungarian, and more. If you need a language not listed, get in touch and we'll confirm availability.

Standard certified translations are typically completed within 2–3 business days once we receive the original document. Turnaround depends on the length and complexity of the document. Urgent delivery is available — let us know your deadline when you get in touch and we'll do our best to accommodate it.

Polish sworn translations are accepted by Polish courts and official bodies. For use in other EU countries, acceptance depends on the specific institution and country. In many cases, an apostille — a form of document authentication — may also be required. We can advise you on what's needed for your specific situation.

Pricing is based on the length and type of document. Certified translations carry a higher rate than standard translations due to the sworn translator requirement and official certification process. We provide a clear, itemised quote before any work begins. Request a quote →
