Sworn translators and sworn translation

About the sworn translation service

As from 1 January 2015, only sworn translators can make official translations from Estonian into a foreign language. A sworn translator is a public official who, like a notary, is empowered by the state to certify, within the scope noted in their professional certificate, the authenticity of copies of documents translated by such sworn translator or by another person, and to certify the authenticity of information retrieved from public records.

Unlike a sworn translator, a notary only certifies the authenticity of the translator’s signature. The notary does not verify the quality or accuracy of the translation and is not liable for it.

In which language pairs do we offer the sworn translator service?

We offer the sworn translator service in the following language pairs: Estonian-English-Estonian; Estonian-Finnish-Estonian, Estonian-Russian-Estonian, Estonian-Italian-Estonian, Estonian-Spanish-Estonian, Estonian-Swedish-Estonian, Estonian-Latvian-Estonian, Estonian-German-Estonian, Estonian-Norwegian-Estonian, Estonian-Lithuanian-Estonian, German-Russian-German, Russian-English-Russian, Estonian-Polish-Estonian, Estonian-Ukrainian-Estonian, Portuguese-Estonian, Estonian-Dutch-Estonian, Spanish-English.

Certificates for vital statistics procedures, certificates of legal capacity to contract marriage and extracts from the population register (excl. change of name certificates) are issued by the vital statistics office in Estonian, English, German and French.
