  • Online order

    • We’re based in the heart of Prague, but you don’t have to be in the Czech capital to commission a sworn translation. You can easily place your order online.
    • We’ll contact you within 15 minutes to provide a quote or clarify any details about the translation you need (e.g. output format, graphic adjustments, etc.)

  • Document for translation

    • With sworn translations, the original document becomes an integral part of the translation itself. It is physically attached to the translated text, along with the translator’s attestation, which includes a seal and string to authenticate it.
    • If you wish to keep the original document as it is, we recommend getting a notarised copy and using that for the sworn translation.
    • For electronic versions, we’ll provide a digitally signed PDF/A document.

  • Getting your sworn translation done

    You can visit us in person in Prague, or send your documents by post.

    • We’re located in the centre of Prague (Na Příkopě 31). If that’s too far for you, you can send us the documents by post or courier service.
    • Once your sworn translation is ready, you can either collect it in person or have it sent to the address you provided.
    • For electronic certified translations, just email us the document, and we’ll send the sworn translation back to you the same way.
