Legal translations and legislation
With legal translations, interpreting legislation plays a major role. It is therefore very important that translators not only speak the language fluently, but also have a solid understanding of the local legal systems in both the source and target countries. This means translators must have in-depth knowledge of legal jargon, understand how legal systems differ, know which sources and reference materials to use, and how to accurately and clearly convey the content of the original document into the target language.

Why it is best to choose a sworn translator
Although non-sworn translators can in principle also deliver high-quality translations, working with a sworn translator adds significant value when translating your legal documents. These translators must meet (inter)national requirements set by the Legal Aid Board. This includes specific prior knowledge, training and experience, and background screening of the translators. Only once all conditions are met can a translator be officially sworn in by the court after taking an oath. If this oath is not upheld, the translator loses their licence to translate legal documents.
Once a translator has taken the oath or pledge before a judge and is registered with the Legal Aid Board (agency Wbtv), they receive a so-called ‘btv identification card’ with a unique registration number. This entitles the translator to translate documents that must retain their legal validity even when translated. This is especially important for documents such as legal statements, notarial deeds and official government documents. Sworn translations are often legally required for international legal processes and transactions. A translation agency offering legal translation services must therefore demonstrably be able to provide sworn translations that meet the requirements of the relevant authorities across borders.

Frequently-asked questions about Legal translation agency
What is the difference between a sworn translation and a regular translation?
A sworn translation is carried out by a sworn translator who is officially recognized by the government and meets all legal requirements. These translations are legally valid and are almost always required when dealing with official documents such as legal and government paperwork. Regular translations are used for less formal texts and purposes and have no official legal status.
How does a legal translation agency ensure the confidentiality of my documents?
Professional legal translation agencies have strict protocols when it comes to confidentiality and data security. This way, your privacy and the integrity of your documents are guaranteed. In addition to the standard legal background check of translators and the commitment to confidentiality, secure file transfer and the drafting and signing of a confidentiality agreement can be used as an additional tool.
Can any translation agency translate legal documents?
Not all translation agencies are authorized to provide legal translations with retention of legal validity. It requires translators with specific expertise in legal terminology and the legal system of both the source and target languages, and, of course, the official swearing in before the court. For the most accurate, reliable translations and the best quality, it is crucial that you choose a certified translation agency specialized in legal translations.
How long does it take to translate a legal document?
The turnaround time of the legal documentation translation process can vary and depends on the length and complexity of the document, as well as the language combination. It is always recommended to contact the translation agency of your choice directly for a customized quote.
Are translations by a legal translation agency legally binding?.
Yes, translations performed by a certified legal translation agency, especially sworn translations, are generally considered legally binding. However, we always recommend that you verify this with the translation agency concerned and your legal advisor.
