## About this service

## Professional Certified Translations in Slovakia

A certified translation (Overený preklady) in Slovakia is an official translation that holds legal validity for use in courts, government offices, universities, and businesses. It must be completed by a sworn translator (súdny prekladateľ) officially registered with the Slovak Ministry of Justice.

Unlike regular translations, which any translator or agency can do without legal recognition, a certified Slovakian translation includes the translator's signature, stamp, and official certification statement attesting to their accuracy. They are also physically or digitally bound to the original document or a notarised copy to prevent tampering. Certified translations are required for legal, academic, and business purposes, such as contracts, court rulings, birth certificates, and diplomas.

In contrast, regular translations are suitable for informal use, such as website content or business communications. To be legally valid, a certified Slovakian translation must follow specific legal requirements in Slovakia. Only sworn translators recognised by the Slovak Ministry of Justice can provide them, and the translated document must be formatted and bound correctly.

Additionally, if the document originates from a foreign country, it may require an Apostille (for Hague Convention countries) or [full legalisation](https://translayte.com/blog/how-to-translate-and-legalise-documents-in-slovakia) before translation.

### Who Recognises Certified Translations?

- Slovakia Universities
- Slovakia Government offices
- Slovakia Courts and Legal institutions
- Foreign Embassies and Immigration offices
