Sworn Polish–Slovak Translation in Bratislava
Slovakia and Poland share a long border and a busy trade corridor – and with it demand for sworn Polish translations: from civil-status documents, through work and business papers, to transport and corporate documentation. Every sworn translation is produced by a translator entered in the Slovak Ministry of Justice register, on paper or electronically with a qualified signature. As both Poland and Slovakia are in the EU, we advise when no apostille is needed and when an EU multilingual standard form spares you the translation altogether. Office in Bratislava-Petržalka (Budatínska 29); fully online across Slovakia.
- Sworn Polish translator from the Ministry of Justice register – paper or electronic form with a qualified signature
- Polish civil-status documents (USC) for registry offices, courts and notaries in Slovakia
- Work and business in Poland: criminal-record extract, diplomas, company extracts (KRS)
- EU-formalities advice: no apostille is required between Slovakia and Poland for most public documents
Polish documents for Slovak authorities
For registry offices, courts, notaries and insurers we translate birth and marriage certificates (from the Polish USC registry office), divorce decrees, inheritance decisions and other public documents from Polish. Between Slovakia and Poland no apostille is required for most public documents under EU Regulation 2016/1191 – a sworn translation is enough.
And we tell you straight: if your Polish civil-status document comes with an EU multilingual standard form, the Slovak registry office often needs no translation at all. We tell you before you pay for something you don’t need.
Work and seasonal jobs in Poland
For work across the northern border we translate criminal-record extracts, diplomas and professional certificates, work-experience confirmations and trade-licence documents into Polish. We also prepare translations of Polish documents you then submit in Slovakia – from employment contracts to income confirmations.
Your employer or the office usually gives you a list of the required documents – send it to us with the scans and we prepare the whole package at once.
Cross-border trade and transport
Slovak–Polish trade is among the liveliest in the region, especially in transport and logistics – we translate contracts, transport and customs documents, invoices, tender and technical documentation, and extracts from the Polish commercial register KRS (Krajowy Rejestr Sądowy). Sworn where a court, register or bank requires it; standard translation from €12 per standard page for internal use.
For long-term cooperation we keep terminology consistent with a translation memory and a client glossary; confidential documents are handled under an NDA.
Study and recognition of a Polish diploma
Polish universities are popular with Slovaks – on returning and putting a qualification to use at home, we prepare a sworn translation of the diploma and its supplements into Slovak for recognition of the education document (nostrification). We also translate the other way, when you submit a Slovak document to a Polish school or office.
For regulated professions, offices often also require a translation of syllabi and experience confirmations – we advise exactly what you will need.
