Notarised translations are usually done of various documents. For example of a passport, marriage or school certificate, business documents, etc. The objective for the translations is to submit these in another country as official and valid documents.

In principle, notarised translations can also be done of newspaper articles, handwritten minutes of a meeting, etc. – this is done if an added weight is required for the document.

We’re legendary among our loyal clients, because we are capable of translating documents with a speed they’ve never been able to get from other cooperation partners. Thank you to them for continuously challenging us and trusting us.

Notarial translation – as at the start of this year, only documents translated from a foreign language into Estonian and into a foreign language can be certified by a notary. Translator with an authorisation to sign a translation is accepted by the notary, and the notary will only certify the translator’s signature on the translation.

Sworn translation is essentially a certified translation. Sworn translator certifies the accuracy of the translation and is liable for the quality of the translation. Sworn translator has passed respective national examinations and holds a professional certificate, which gives him/her the right to also certify copies and signatures in addition to certifying a translation.

Apostilling comprises a procedure in the course of which the notary adds a notation certifying internationally renowned authenticity to the document. Apostille certifies the authenticity of a public document. Public document is a document issued by a state authority: for example, B-card, diploma, birth certificate, certificate of the criminal records database, etc. In order to apostille private documents, they first require a notarised translation, followed by apostilling the notarial certificate. A document can only be apostilled in the country it was issued. Documents that you are taking to Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Russia or Poland do not require an apostille or legalisation.

Legalisation – the idea behind legalisation is the same as apostilling, but the procedure is more time-consuming and is carried out only on documents to be used in certain countries. In order to legalise a document, it must be sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that verifies the authenticity of the document and then sends it to the respective authority of the required foreign country, which will then also certify the document with a legalisation notation. Legalised document can only be used in the foreign country whose legalisation notation is provided on the document. Documents to be used in a country that has not joined the Hague Convention are legalised.

You don’t have to try to find out yourself whether the country you are planning to use the document in has joined the Hague Convention. We will do the apostilling and legalisation for you!

In order for us to give you the best quote, we need to see the material that requires translation. We can give you the price of translating some short standard documents, for example a passport or a birth certificate, without seeing the actual document. To give you the best price quote for larger and other documents, however, we do need to see the material to be translated.

If possible, provide as much information as possible to accompany the file. But don’t worry – if we require information that you didn’t know to include, we’ll ask for it. As a rule, we will send you a quote within an hour or let you know what kind of additional information we need and/or when we can send you the quote. If you accept the quote, we will agree on all the information and workflow in the process of translating, revision and layout design.
