Other world languages – translation for international and immigration procedures

Language services are often needed for specific personal and business situations: moving abroad, employment, education, international marriage, starting a business or arranging residence status in Croatia or another country.

These assignments may involve different legal systems, administrative requirements and documents issued outside the EU, so the translation should be accurate, understandable and prepared in the form required by the receiving authority.

When might you need translation in other world languages?

Common situations include:

  • arranging residence and work for third-country nationals
  • international marriages and family procedures
  • applying to overseas schools and universities
  • employment abroad
  • working with partners in Africa, the Americas or the Middle East

Translations are prepared from Croatian or into Croatian, according to the institution’s or employer’s requirements.

Court interpreter certification: what to check

For official documents, confirm whether the receiving institution requires:

  • a certified translation by a court interpreter
  • a clear attachment or reference to the original
  • consistent names, dates and institution names

A court interpreter’s certification confirms that the translation corresponds to the source . Acceptance by courts, public authorities or overseas institutions depends on the specific procedure and requirements.
