How to duly translate documents into the Slovak language?
It all depends on the type of documents and the agreement concluded by your country. Certification of translation is not required for countries that are state parties to the Hague Convention. This means that in order to use abroad documents issued in such a country, you only need to apostille them.
Apostilled documents must not only be translated into Slovak but the translation must be made by a sworn translator and bound to a notarized copy of the document. Such translators are located in Slovakia.
Our specialists will provide full translation services in Slovakia.
Is it obligatory to come in person to submit documents?
Personal presence is required by law.
