Sworn Ukrainian–Slovak Translation in Bratislava

Sworn (úradný) translation from Ukrainian into Slovak is the most requested language pair in Slovakia – required by the foreign police, registry offices, schools, employers and labour offices. At Etalon it is produced by our own sworn translator from the Slovak Ministry of Justice register; we translate both directions, including documents with Russian-language stamps. We enforce passport-consistent name spelling, and for Ukrainian originals we also arrange the apostille – directly in Ukraine through our own Kharkiv and Kyiv offices. Office in Bratislava-Petržalka (Budatínska 29); fully online across Slovakia.

Confidentiality of your documents

The Ukrainian documents we translate most often

The standard set for living and working in Slovakia: birth and marriage certificates, criminal-record extract, diploma with supplement and school certificate, driving licence and vehicle registration, medical reports, employment book and work-experience confirmations. For businesses – contracts, register extracts and accounting documents of Ukrainian partners.

Documents issued before 1991 or bearing Russian-language stamps are no problem – the sworn translator processes the multilingual original as a single whole, so the authority never receives a “translation with holes”.

Name transliteration: the top reason files bounce

Ukrainian names can be romanised several ways – and a Slovak authority compares the translation with your passport letter by letter. If “Yuliia” in one document becomes “Julia” in another, the file goes back for completion and the procedure drags on for weeks.

That is why we always ask for a passport scan before translating and unify the spelling across every document in the series – including previously translated ones if you are continuing an older file.

Slovakia → Ukraine: documents for Ukrainian authorities

We also translate the other way: Slovak birth and marriage certificates, court decisions, confirmations and powers of attorney for use in Ukraine. We advise whether the Ukrainian side requires an apostille from a Slovak authority and prepare the translation so Ukrainian institutions accept it.

Thanks to our Kharkiv and Kyiv offices we can hand the document over directly in Ukraine – to family or an authorised person, no international mail.

Apostille + sworn translation in one order

A Ukrainian original often needs an apostille from a Ukrainian ministry – and you cannot get that in Slovakia. We can: the request is filed directly in Ukraine through our own offices, the document is apostilled, and our sworn translator then translates it into Slovak including the apostille clause.

One order, the right sequence of steps, and no mailing originals abroad.

FAQ

Will the foreign police accept your translation?

Yes – the sworn translation is produced by a translator entered in the Slovak Ministry of Justice register, bound, with the clause and stamp. This is exactly the form Slovak authorities require.

My document is in Russian, not Ukrainian. Can you translate it?

Yes. Older Ukrainian documents and stamps are often in Russian – we process them as part of one file so nothing is missing from the translation. Tell us what you have and we propose the approach.

How do you guarantee the correct spelling of my name?

We request a passport scan before translating and unify the name spelling across all documents in the series. A transliteration mismatch is the most common reason an authority bounces a file.

Do you translate from Slovak into Ukrainian?

Yes – Slovak documents for Ukrainian authorities (certificates, court decisions, powers of attorney). We advise whether an apostille is needed and can hand the document over directly in Ukraine through our offices.

How fast is the translation ready?

Standard documents usually within 2–3 business days, express by agreement. If the document also needs an apostille from Ukraine, we confirm the overall deadline with the quote.

How much does a sworn Ukrainian translation cost?

It depends on the document type and length, so we quote individually after seeing the scans. Standard translation from €12 per standard page; apostille on a Ukrainian document from €22.
