Greek court interpreter – Greek script, personal names and official documents

We translate personal, real estate, maritime, educational and legal documents between Greek and Croatian. For certified translation or official interpreting, we check suitable court interpreter availability and the receiving authority’s requirements before confirming the assignment. After reviewing all pages, we provide a quote with the scope, total price, turnaround and delivery.

We compare the Latin-script spelling of names with the passport, distinguish institution names from document titles and check numeric codes. Send every page, including reverse sides and attachments, which may contain certifications and annotations.

Greek documents for personal, real estate and maritime procedures

In private procedures, birth and marriage certificates, certificates of non-criminality, pension, study and residence documents are translated. In the case of real estate, contracts, powers of attorney, land registry extracts and tax certificates may be required. Maritime and tourism companies order certificates, contracts, technical forms and official correspondence. In any case, before starting, it should be confirmed whether the recipient requests authentication.

The types of Greek documents we most often translate

• Birth and marriage certificates, certificates of marital status and citizenship
• Criminal record, tax and pension certificates
• Sales contracts, powers of attorney and documentation for real estate
• Court decisions, lawsuits, resolutions and notarial documents
• Diplomas, school certificates, academic transcripts and university certificates
• Maritime certificates, contracts, technical forms and business documentation

This list covers commonly requested documents but is not exhaustive. You may send other Greek-language documents. We check the script, passport spelling and consistency of personal details.

Greek alphabet and Latin notation of personal data

For Greek documents, we harmonize the Greek alphabet with the Latin entry from the passport and, if necessary, keep the original name of the institution for the sake of verifiability.

Certification of a Greek document for official use

A certified translation for official use is prepared by an appointed permanent court interpreter for Greek, subject to availability and the receiving authority’s requirements. We check passport spelling, the document type and the authority’s requirements. If direct certification is unavailable, we seek confirmation from the competent authority. Check the number of copies, attachment to an original or copy, and any Apostille requirement before ordering.

Interpreting between Croatian and Greek according to agreement

We arrange interpreting between Greek and Croatian for business meetings, appointments with a notary or registrar, court and administrative proceedings and other official appointments agreed in advance. If the organiser or relevant authority requires an appointed permanent court interpreter, please tell us when you enquire. We confirm the booking once we have checked the location, date, duration, subject and any documents needed for preparation.

Apostille and authentication of a Greek document

A certified translation and an Apostille serve different purposes. Legalisation requirements depend on where the document was issued, where it will be used and the receiving authority. Before ordering, check whether you need the original or a certified copy, and whether legalisation must come before translation. You can find practical advice in our Apostille guide.

Language, data and certification control before the Greek translation

Your quote clearly sets out the scope, source and target languages, certification, total price, deadline and delivery arrangements. For these documents, we pay particular attention to the Greek alphabet, the Latin entry from the passport and the correspondence of personal data.

How to prepare a Greek document for translation assessment

1. Send a clear, complete copy of your document, including all stamps, notes and attachments, so we can assess the translation requirements.
2. Tell us the source and target languages, country of issue, intended use, deadline and any certification requirements. For interpreting, include the location, date and expected duration. In particular, we will check the Greek alphabet, the Latin entry from the passport and the matching of personal data.
3. By reviewing the Greek document, we determine the actual scope and required expertise, and then confirm the certification, price, deadline and number of copies.
4. Once you accept our quote, we translate the document and check the language and details before delivery. We agree in advance whether you need a digital file, a paper copy or both.
