Where are you submitting the document?

The destination country and the recipient’s requirements determine the translation language, the documents needed and the format.

Submission in Poland

We translate civil registry certificates and extracts into Polish from English, German, French, Portuguese and other languages. We will match the translation format to the requirements of the civil registry office, court or other recipient.

Submission outside Poland

We translate civil registry certificates from Polish into foreign languages. Send the requirements of the destination country and the recipient for the language, documents and format. Before starting work, we will confirm availability of the language pair and the appropriate format. More about sworn translation.

One form of certification is not automatically suitable for every country. We will confirm the price, turnaround and delivery method for your chosen direction after checking the document and the recipient’s requirements.

How do you order a civil registry translation?

Start by sending the documents and receiving institution’s requirements. We confirm the scope and completion date before payment.

01

Send your documents

Send all pages, reverse sides, attachments and certifications. Specify both languages, destination, recipient requirements and your preferred completion date.

02

Confirm and pay

Confirm the price, language, translation format and completion date. Payment is made after agreement and before work starts.

03

Translation and certification

The translator completes the agreed work and arranges the selected certification.

04

Choose collection or delivery

Collect the completed package from our office or request free delivery within Poland. Originals are insured in transit; delivery dates are agreed separately.

When do you need a marriage certificate translation?

A marriage certificate confirms marital status. A Polish institution may require sworn translation if it was issued in another language.

  1. Residence permit

    A marriage certificate may form part of a family’s application documents. Requirements depend on the grounds for the application.

  2. Registration at the civil registry office

    Before entering a foreign civil record in the Polish register, ask the civil registry office (USC) which certificate and translation format are required.

  3. Family matters

    Family paperwork, benefits or confirmation of a surname change — requirements vary by procedure.

  4. Legal procedures

    For a court, notary or another recipient. Send their requirements so we can agree the document package.

Which civil registry documents can we translate?

We translate certificates and registry extracts in full, including the reverse and additional entries.

  1. Marriage certificate

    Spouses’ details, place and date of registration, surnames before and after marriage, and endorsements.

  2. Birth certificate

    The child’s and parents’ details, place of registration and other information recorded in the document.

  3. Divorce documents

    A certificate or registry extract. If based on a court judgment, send the judgment separately for assessment. If a court judgment needs separate authentication for use abroad, ask about an apostille for a divorce judgment.

  4. Death certificate

    Registry details and official endorsements. Check which supporting documents the recipient needs.

What should you check before translating a certificate?

We check personal details across the set, as certificate translations are often submitted with passports and other family documents.

  1. Surnames and first names

    Send the Latin-script spelling of names from passports and other relevant documents. Include previous surnames where the set requires them.

  2. Reverse sides and endorsements

    Photograph both sides, including amendments, certifications and attached sheets.

  3. Institutional requirements

    Check whether the original, a particular extract or a recently issued document is required.

  4. Collection or delivery

    Tell us your submission date. We agree translation turnaround and delivery time separately.

What does a sworn certificate translation include?

For submission in Poland, we translate foreign certificates into Polish; for submission abroad, we translate Polish certificates into a foreign language. In both directions, we translate entries, reverse sides, stamps and endorsements in the agreed set. Translation does not replace obtaining a new document or registering the civil record at the USC.

Frequently asked questions

When an institution requires sworn translation, it is certified by a sworn translator authorised in Poland. This is separate from notarisation. Check the requirements for the certificate itself with the recipient.

A photo or scan is enough for a quote. We check whether the translator needs to see the original before starting. The receiving institution may separately require the original on submission.

No. Translation conveys the certificate’s content into Polish or from Polish into another language. Transcription means entering a foreign civil record in the Polish register; the USC carries out this procedure. More about civil registration on Gov.pl.

Send the name spelling from the documents you will submit together. Tell us about any discrepancies in the source before translation.

An exemption may apply. Check the document format and the specific institution’s requirements before ordering. Request a free consultation about your document package.

The price depends on the language, length, certification and urgency. Send every page so we can quote before starting work. Payment is due after agreeing the price and terms, before translation starts. Your adviser will confirm the payment method.

Usually 1–2 working days for a standard order, depending on length and language. Urgent service is available by arrangement. Delivery time is additional.
