Certified Polish translation – what to check before official submission

A certified translation for official use is prepared by an appointed permanent court interpreter for Polish, subject to availability and the receiving authority’s requirements. Before accepting the assignment, we check the source and target languages, the original record of the name and the number of copies required for the procedure. If direct certification is unavailable, we ask the relevant authority to confirm whether an alternative is acceptable. Before you order, we also check the number of copies, whether the translation must be attached to the original or a copy, and any Apostille requirements.

Interpretation of the Polish language for meetings and official procedures

We arrange interpreting between Polish 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.

Authentication of a Polish document for international use

Check Apostille requirements separately from translation requirements. Some authorities ask for the original to be legalised before it is translated; others accept a different order. Before placing your order, confirm the receiving authority’s instructions and read our Apostille guide.
