Check the recipient’s instructions first

Before requesting a translation, ask the recipient what language, format, and type of attestation they accept.

01

Names and dates

Provide preferred spellings where relevant. Tell us about handwritten or unclear sections.

02

Formal acceptance

Requirements can differ by country and institution. We can review the requirements you provide before discussing the job.

03

Privacy

Use the form for an initial description only. We will arrange a suitable way to review the actual document later.

What to check before ordering

These notes help you describe your request. The receiving organization’s current instructions should guide the final requirements.

Identify the record version and issuer

A short-form extract, full certificate, amended record, license, or decision may not answer the same request. Note the exact title, issuing authority, country or U.S. state, and whether the document has a back page, later annotation, seal, or attached correction. If you are unsure which record the recipient wants, ask before commissioning a translation.

Flag name changes without rewriting the source

Family and identity records can contain earlier surnames, accents, transliteration, and spellings that differ from a passport or later record. A translation should reflect the source document. Tell the receiving office about mismatches and ask what supporting evidence it wants rather than asking a translator to silently change a name.

Separate translation from formal acceptance

A Slovak registry, school, court, or consular office may prescribe an official translator, an apostille for a foreign public document, a certified copy, or a specific submission format. These are separate questions. Obtain the current instructions for your exact procedure and include their wording in your quote request; the recipient makes the acceptance decision.

Protect personal details at the first step

Use the form to describe the record, number of pages, intended recipient, required format, and deadline. Do not paste a certificate number, date of birth, medical history, or a scan into the initial message. We can discuss a suitable document-review channel after the request is understood.

Common questions

Answers to common questions before you request a quote.

Will an institution accept my translation?

Only the receiving institution can confirm its acceptance rules. Share its instructions so the request can be assessed accurately.

Should the back of a certificate be included?

Mention any reverse-side text, seal, stamp, or annotation so the full record can be reviewed. Ask the recipient whether it expects the complete document or a specified extract.

Can a translation correct a name in the original?

The translated text should reflect the source. Ask the issuing authority or receiving office how to handle an error or difference between records.
