What to know
Before you request a legal translation
The recipient’s instructions matter as much as the source text. We review the requirements you provide before discussing a suitable approach.
Flag formal requirements
If you have been asked for a sworn, certified, notarized, or apostilled translation, use the exact wording from the recipient. These are different requirements.
Keep source text complete
Mention attachments, signatures, stamps, and schedules so the full scope can be assessed.
Document guide
What to check before ordering
These notes help you describe your request. The receiving organization’s current instructions should guide the final requirements.
Name the document and jurisdiction
A contract, court order, power of attorney, and company resolution serve different purposes. Give the document title, jurisdiction or governing law if stated, and the receiving party. Say whether the Slovak version will support negotiation, internal review, filing, or another use. These details help identify terms that need particular care.
Account for the entire source
Identify schedules, definitions, annexes, exhibits, signatures, stamps, amendments, and referenced forms. If only selected clauses need translation, confirm that a partial translation will meet the recipient’s needs before requesting a quote. Supply the current executed or approved version when a later version exists.
Check formal submission rules early
A court, registry, or other authority may prescribe a translator, signature, certification, or submission format. Ask the receiving organization for its exact current instructions and include them in the request. A notarization or apostille is a separate act from translating the text; neither should be assumed from the word “official.”
Separate language work from legal review
A translation can convey the source wording, but it does not decide legal effect, interpret a disputed clause, or replace advice from counsel. If the Slovak text will be signed or relied upon, ask a qualified professional in the relevant jurisdiction to review the legal effect and version control.

Frequently asked
Common questions
Answers to common questions before you request a quote.
Is the translation legal advice?
No. Translation and legal advice are separate services. For legal interpretation or filing advice, consult a qualified professional in the relevant jurisdiction.
Can I translate only a few clauses?
Describe the clauses and check with the receiving party whether a partial version is acceptable. Referenced definitions and schedules may be needed to understand them.
What if my document has several versions?
Identify the final version to translate and list any amendments or exhibits that must accompany it. A revised source can change scope after a quote.
