What is a sworn translation?
A translation carrying the stamp and signature of a translator sworn in by a court of law. This makes the document legally recognized by official authorities, including abroad.
✓
Do you need legalization?
For use in some countries, the translation also has to be legalized by the court, the ministry and the embassy. You arrange this yourself using the paper copy you receive; I am happy to advise you on the steps to take.
✓
In which direction?
I provide sworn translations from Dutch into English. Non-sworn translations I can do in both directions, so from English into Dutch as well.

Frequently asked questions
Anything still unclear?
A few questions that come up regularly.
In the Netherlands a sworn translation is recognized as a matter of course by bodies such as the IND, municipalities, universities and the courts. For use abroad, legalization may be required; I am happy to advise you on whether that applies in your situation.
I provide non-sworn translations in both directions: Dutch-English and English-Dutch. For sworn translations I am registered for the direction Dutch into English.
No, a clear photo or scan by email is enough for me to produce the translation.
You first receive a digital version (pdf) by email, usually within 24 to 48 hours of approving the quote. The official certified paper copy, with stamp and signature, follows by mail.
I work with a fixed turnaround of 24 to 48 hours for every client. Do you have a tight deadline? Mention it in your request and I will see what is possible.
