Your birth certificate, officially translated into Slovak
For your residence permit, a wedding at the registry office or any Slovak authority. Translated by a sworn translator registered with the Slovak Ministry of Justice, with the official round seal.
A translation made at home needs extra stamps. Mine does not.
Slovak authorities accept documents in a foreign language only with an official translation into Slovak.
Valid at every Slovak office
The Labour Office (for child benefit), foreign police, registry office, courts, schools and employers accept my translations without further verification.
Skip the consulate confirmation
A translation made abroad must come with a confirmation from the embassy that the translator was authorised. A translation made here does not.
You talk to the translator
I am not an agency. I check your document, answer your questions in English and translate it myself.

In person in Trnava, or by post. The translation is bound to the document, so a notarised copy is often the better choice.
Collect your official translation

Before you send your document
How long does the translation take?
A birth certificate is usually ready within a few working days. If your appointment is sooner, tell me the date and we will agree on an express deadline.
My certificate is in English. Can you translate it into Slovak?
Yes. English to Slovak and Slovak to English are my languages, and I translate them myself every day.
My certificate is in another language (Hindi, Ukrainian, Spanish…).
Send me a photo. I arrange official translations in 15 languages with fellow sworn translators and keep in touch with you throughout.
Do I have to come to Trnava?
No. You can send the original or a notarised copy by post and I will post the translation back. Many clients from Bratislava use this.
Will the office keep my translation?
Some offices keep it. If you need the translation more than once, ask for an extra certified copy when you order.
