What is a certified translation in Austria?
In Austria, certified translations are produced by sworn and court-certified translators (allgemein beeidete und gerichtlich zertifizierte Dolmetscher). They confirm with their signature, official seal and certification clause that the translation is complete and correct. The translation is then bound to the original document or to a copy.
Whether the original or a copy should be used depends on the authority you are submitting it to. We clarify this with you before we start.
When you need a certified translation
Typical occasions include marriage and name changes at the registry office, residence permit and citizenship procedures, recognition and nostrification of foreign qualifications, university admission, court and notarial proceedings, company register filings and the exchange of a foreign driving licence.
Translation and apostille from one provider
Many documents also need an apostille or legalisation before or after translation. The right order decides whether your documents are accepted. We plan the whole process and take care of every step.
