Certified and non-certified translations

Inovatus provides certified and non-certified translations for individuals, companies and institutions. Certified translations may be required for official and administrative purposes, such as studying or working abroad, marriage, residence or citizenship procedures. Non-certified translations are commonly used for business communication, contracts, tenders, technical documents, websites and international cooperation. Every translation should be accurate, clear and tailored to its purpose.

Certified translations are prepared by a court interpreter, who confirms with a signature and stamp that the translation faithfully corresponds to the original. They are used when courts, ministries, registry offices, embassies, universities, notaries, employers abroad or other recipients require certified documents. Common examples include identity documents, diplomas, school certificates, official certificates, contracts, powers of attorney, judgments, registry extracts, decisions and medical documents. Check the recipient’s requirements before ordering.

Non-certified translations are used when formal certification is not required, while specialist knowledge, consistent terminology and natural language remain essential. They commonly cover business materials, websites, applications,

presentations, correspondence, technical descriptions, catalogues, offers and other documents requiring a professional translation without an official certification.

If you are unsure which type of translation you need, send us the document or an enquiry. Its purpose helps establish whether certification by a court interpreter is required or whether a non-certified translation is sufficient.

We provide certified and non-certified translations of many document types and content. This includes personal documents, legal and court documents, business and financial records, technical drawings and specifications, medical documents, websites, applications and software.

Alongside accuracy, we pay close attention to language and presentation. Official documents must faithfully reflect the original and meet formal requirements.

Translation tailored to its purpose

Good translation involves more than transferring words between languages. Each type of text calls for an appropriate approach. Certified translations emphasise formal accuracy and fidelity to the original, while style, readability and natural language are often particularly important for non-certified translations. We therefore consider the actual purpose of each document as well as its subject.

This approach matters when documents are submitted to institutions, used in international business or published online. In every case, the translation must be reliable, accurate and appropriate to its context.

A straightforward translation process

Start by sending the document or an enquiry. After reviewing the content, we assess whether court interpreter certification is needed, the scope of the work and the expected delivery time. We then prepare the translation and deliver it in the agreed format.

This process gives you clear information about the service required and what to expect regarding timing, preparation and delivery.
