Sworn Dutch translations must be completed by a sworn translator in the Netherlands. A sworn translator in the Netherlands must have a title as such and be properly registered with government authorities to provide sworn translations. In today’s article, we will discuss common uses for sworn Dutch translations and the process for same.
A sworn translation is a form of a certified translation. The translator declares under oath that the document has been correctly translated. Sworn Dutch translations may be required for various situations. When submitting translated documents in the Netherlands for any official purpose, more than likely, they will need to be sworn. For example, when applying to a university with a foreign transcript or diploma, these will need to be translated and sworn. Additionally, when applying for a job or for any immigration purpose in the country, documents in a foreign language will need to be translated and sworn.
All documents that are sworn will need to contain the translator’s stamp and signature. If the documents submitted do not contain the proper requirements, they will likely be rejected, which could derail your process. Typically, matters requiring sworn translations are time sensitive, such as university applications which have a deadline, or immigration applications. Thus, it is important to make sure you hire a translation company that knows how to correctly do this procedure.
Whether you need a sworn translation for an immigration process or another official purpose in the Netherlands, it is important to ensure you obtain a proper sworn translation by a sworn translator in the Netherlands. Failing to do so could derail the process, or worse, lead to a rejected application.
