Sworn English Translation in Košice – Online
Košice IT Valley brings together 86 member organisations, and the regional IT sector employed over 15,000 people in 2023 – English is the working language of the whole industry. Knowing the language does not replace an official document, though: the foreign police, universities and courts require a translation by a sworn translator entered in the Slovak Ministry of Justice register. We produce it fully online – email the scans and receive the finished translation electronically with a qualified signature or by post anywhere in the east. We also tell you when a certified translation for a foreign institution is enough instead of a sworn one.

Who in Košice asks for English documents
The three most common destinations: IT-sector employers (employment contracts, salary and HR confirmations), universities (diplomas and certificates for admission or recognition), and the foreign police in residence-permit proceedings (birth and marriage certificates, criminal-record extracts). Each has different requirements for the form of translation.
That is why we always ask with the quote who the document is for – and prepare the translation in exactly the form the institution requires.
Sworn translation or certified translation?
Slovak authorities require a sworn translation bound with the clause and stamp of a sworn translator. Foreign universities and employers in the UK, USA or Ireland, however, often accept a certified translation with a signed translator statement – a faster and cheaper form.
Tell us where the document is heading and we recommend the right form. It is the simplest way not to overpay for English translations.
Electronic sworn translation for people on the move
For IT professionals relocating to or from Košice, the electronic sworn translation is the most practical: a PDF with the sworn translator’s qualified electronic signature (KEP), as valid as the paper form. You submit it via slovensko.sk or send it to the institution by email.
We check in advance whether your institution accepts it – if it insists on paper, we deliver the paper original by post.
Slovak documents into English: study and work abroad
In the other direction we translate diplomas, certificates and criminal-record extracts for visas, study and job offers abroad, as well as medical reports and work-experience confirmations.
Corporate documents – contracts, terms and conditions, tender documentation – we translate sworn where a court or register requires it, and as standard translation from €12 per standard page for internal use.
