A certified translation can only be completed by an authorised translator. This type of translation is often required by official authorities and is most commonly used for documents such as diplomas, marriage certificates, employment contracts, court rulings, and many others.
If your documents need to be submitted abroad, higher-level authentication (e.g., an apostille) might be necessary. I can assist you with this process as well –find more information
I provide certified translations in two formats:
1. Printed Certified Translations
A printed certified translation consists of a bundle of documents bound with a tricolor ribbon, featuring the translator's round stamp and signature.
2. Electronic Certified Translations
An electronic certified translation is a digital version of a translated document that holds the same legal validity as a printed translation. It is secured with a qualified electronic signature and a time stamp and is delivered as a PDF file or an .asice signature container.
Why Choose an Electronic Certified Translation?
Electronic certified translations offer several advantages:
Time Efficiency: Save time by handling everything online.
Reusability: Easily reuse the digital document.
Cost Reduction: Many authorities offer significant discounts (up to 50% off fees) for electronic submissions.
The process is straightforward – find detailed instructions
I use modern CAT (computer-assisted translation) tools for all translations, ensuring consistency, accurate terminology, support for various formats faster processing, and quality control. I have experience with the most widely used programs, such as memoQ, Trados Studio, Phrase, SmartCat, and Xbench.

Send the document*:
either an electronic document signed with a qualified electronic signature (the one you received electronically), or
a notarised electronic copy of a paper document (the original must be submitted to a notary, who will verify and convert it into an electronic format).
I will translate the document and send you the electronic translation via email.
You can use the translation immediately by sending it to the recipient or have it converted into paper form by a notary, lawyer, or at the post office.
*If the recipient does not require a translation of the verified/original document, send a scan.
An apostille is a higher form of authentication required when an official document is presented in a country that is a signatory to the Hague Convention of October 5, 1961. This convention eliminates the need for further authentication of foreign public documents. Superlegalisation is a more complex higher authentication that is required in states that are not party to the Hague Convention. However, higher authentication is not required for all official documents and in all countries, particularly those with which Slovakia has bilateral or multilateral agreements offering exemptions.
German-speaking countries:
Apostillation applies to all documents intended for use in Switzerland and those intended for use in Germany related to legal entities and business purposes. In Austria, all documents are exempt from the apostille requirement.
If you need assistance with authentification of Slovak documents, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Fast communication and transparent pricing.
I specialise in translations in the fields of finance, economics, and law, backed by years of experience and a university degree in economics.
I maintain your corporate terminology and standards using modern terminology management tools.
Working directly with a translator offers quick communication, personal approach, transparent pricing, and avoids paying agency commissions. Agencies are excellent for large, international projects that require multiple translators and complex coordination. However, for standard or specialised translations, collaborating directly with a translator often provides greater flexibility and consistency.
Machine translators are valuable tools but cannot fully grasp context, cultural nuances, or specialised terminology. Artificial intelligence currently serves as an aid, much like driver-assistance systems in cars – it helps, but the outcome still requires the oversight of an experienced professional.
I use CAT tools to analyze your existing documents and create personalised terminology databases. These tools enable me to maintain consistency and accuracy in your translations across all projects.
I respond to your inquiries quickly, usually within a few hours. If you prefer a face-to-face meeting (e.g., for handing over or receiving documents), you must arrange a specific time and place in advance.
