Sworn and Certified Translation Services
“Sworn” or “certified” translation services deal with ‘official’ translations. An official translation is a document that has a signature and a stamp of authority. The notion of ‘officialness’ can differ from one country to another. Each country has its legal system and requirements for official document translations. So, what is “official” for the UK? Only a certified language service firm can provide official translations for use in the UK. JK Translate can certify your official documents with special certification seals. We can offer you both certified and apostilled or legalized translations. To make translations certified, we, as a legal/certifying authority, verify/certify that a translation is accurate, complete, and corresponds to the original. You will see each page of your document translation stamped and initialled by JK translate agency so that nobody can tamper or misuse it. For the UK, official documents need to have only a certified translation. Sworn translations are not necessary for this country. We will not disappoint you!

Official Documents Translation
The UK doesn’t require sworn translations as a common law country. Fortunately, you will only need to have a certified translation for your documents. On the contrary, such civil law countries as the Netherlands, Spain, France, Italy, and Germany among other countries, require sworn translations for official documents. Who are sworn translators? They are linguists with a high education degree in translation or language studies. Special government authorities (a Ministry of Justice or a Law Court) appoint and accredit such translators. JK Translate can offer you both sworn and certified translation services. We also offer legalization services. Do you need an apostille? That is not a problem for us. Apostilled translations are sealed with an apostille stamp only when a Notary Public endorses a translation with a declaration. The original document will typically bear the Apostille, which verifies only the authenticity of the signature but not the content of the original document. For a small fee, JK Translate can even legalize and apostille your documents.
Why Choosing JK Translate?
What is so special about us? JK Translate is situated in the heart of Europe in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands. That allows us to have quick access to the International Court of Justice in the Hague if necessary. That could be handy if you need to legalize special documents or get endorsement stamps required for the global arena. The local court of Rotterdam is close to our office so we can legalize and apostille your documents on the local level as well. Our prices are market-competitive and clear.

FAQ
Your translation questions answered
What is a sworn translation?
A sworn translation is a translation carried out by a sworn translator. You will always receive the physical copy of the translation by post and the scanned document by e-mail. A sworn translator has taken an oath and is registered with the court as someone who is able to deliver truthful translations for a specific language pair. A sworn translation contains the stamp of the translator and his or her statement that the translation has been translated to the best of his/her ability and as truthfully as possible. You will need a sworn translation if a government agency or other official body requires a translation of an official document, such as your passport, driver’s license or diploma.
When do I need a sworn translation?
You will need a sworn translation for official documents that you have to show or submit to a government agency or other official body. If you are unsure whether or not a sworn translation is required, we advise you to check this with the authorities concerned. For use in the Netherlands, a sworn translation by a sworn translator registered in the Netherlands will be sufficient. For use abroad, you may also need an apostille or even legalisation at Foreign Affairs and the relevant embassy.
Is a sworn translation the same as a certified translation?
Strictly speaking, a sworn translation is not the same as a certified translation. A sworn translator is appointed in his or her personal capacity as a capable translator. By adding his or her stamp and statement to a translation, a translation is sworn. A certified translation means that the translation is certified by a third party as a true representation of the source document. This third party may be a notary, a lawyer, or a translation agency. Some countries, such as Portugal, do not have sworn translations and mainly work with certified translations. In the Netherlands, on the other hand, sworn translations are common. Are you not sure whether you need a sworn or a certified translation? Please feel free to contact us.
What is a certified translation?
A certified translation is a translation that is certified by a third party as a true representation of the source document. This third party may be a notary, a lawyer, or a translation agency. Unlike with a sworn translation, a certified translation is not necessarily carried out by someone who is authorised by a court or government to translate official documents in their personal capacity. Some countries, such as Portugal, do not have sworn translations and mainly work with certified translations. In the Netherlands, on the other hand, sworn translations are common.
What payment methods do you accept?
You can pay in several ways. For private customers we use payment links from Plink, part of Mollie. This is a secure site where a payment request can easily be created by a seller and paid by a buyer. When you click on this link you will see various payment options, including: iDeal, Paypal, Credit Card, Giropay, Bancontact and SOFORT banking. You can also pay by bank transfer. Please note: the processing time of a bank transfer can take a few days. We ask private individuals paying by bank transfer to send us a confirmation of payment, so that we can schedule the translation immediately. Business customers can pay by bank transfer or on request by credit card.
