The rules for executing certified (sworn) translations
Certified translation (also called the sworn translation) is the special kind of translation which may be executed or performed exclusively by the translator who is entered into the register of Certified Translators kept by the Minister of Justice. Such translations, which include translator’s official stamp and signature, are required by the public authorities, courts, colleges/universities or other institutions in course of administrative procedures involving documents presented in a foreign language. The rules for execution of certified (sworn) translations are stipulated in the Certified (Sworn) Translator’s Profession Act of 25 November 2004 (J.L. No. 273, item 2702), which defines the basic rules for execution of certified (sworn) translations.

Certified (sworn) translation should be issued in a printed form and it includes certification note, certified translator’s round stamp and signature and the specific number of such translation or certification recorded in the translator’s register. Certified (sworn translation) is issued in one copy. Each additional copy (certified copy) costs 20% of the fee for translation.

Certified (sworn) translation may be collected personally, sent by registered or standard mail, delivered by courier or sent in an electronic form (e.g. PDF format). Translations are delivered at customer’s expense.

Standard (used for calculation purposes) certified (sworn) translation page includes 1,125 characters (spaces included). The number of pages for price calculation is determined on the basis of the statistics of characters in text in the target language displayed in the word processor software after translation is completed. In case of certified (sworn) translation commenced page is counted as a whole page.

In case of specialised texts or texts delivered in a non-standard form (e.g. handwritten documents, www sites) prices are agreed upon individually depending on the degree of difficulty in preparing translation. In case of texts including specialised vocabulary (complex legal documents, technical descriptions, specifications, etc.) – prices are agreed upon individually depending on the degree of difficulty in preparing translation and its deadline.

The above prices have been quoted for the standard delivery time. Translation of up to 5 translation pages within 24 hours from the moment of order acceptance is considered as completed in a standard delivery time. In case of shorter time for completion of order or higher number of pages ordered to be completed in a shorter period of time, additional fees for express (50%) or super express (100%) service are charged. They are determined individually, depending on the agreed upon deadline for completion of a particular translation.

For verification and certification by certified (sworn) translation of a provided translation 50% of the rate for translation is charged, in case if a good quality translation is provided

In case of cancellation of translation order, translator has the right to remuneration for already completed work and reimbursement of expenses incurred for the purpose of proper completion of such cancelled translation, if already incurred.

In case of permanent cooperation with a particular customer or large number of pages ordered to be translated, prices may be negotiated individually.

This price list is not a commercial offer in the meaning of Sec. 66 § 1 of the Civil Code.
