Sworn English translation
You have come to the right place for a sworn translation into English at Urgent Vertalen. Our certified and sworn translators provide professional and recognised translations of your legal, financial or medical documents.
What does a sworn English translation entail?
You need a sworn translation English for legal documents – for example a deed or will – to make sure they are effective in the United States or in the United Kingdom. To this end, the document will need to be translated by a sworn translator. When a regular Dutch English translator translates this document, the translation will not have the same legal validity as when a sworn English translator performs the translation. An officially sworn English translator can translate the document and work with Urgent Vertalen to ensure that it is legally valid by then legalizing the sworn translation.
Because of the native background and in-depth legal or financial knowledge of our translators, you can confidently outsource your documents to Urgent Vertalen. We ensure that your official documents are accurately translated into English, including the correct terminology and abbreviations.

Legalization service in The Hague for English translations
You can arrange the official legalization of your translated documents via Urgent Vertalen. Because of the central location of the Urgent Vertalen office in The Hague, we can offer a fast legalization service. This is because we are a stone’s throw from most consulates, the District Court of The Hague and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (CDC), allowing us to switch gears quickly should you need a legalized and sworn translation into English.
We always advise our clients to carefully check the exact translation requirements of the party that will be receiving the document. A sworn translation into English of the document may be sufficient in some cases, but official documents may also require legalization with an apostille. In fact, for most of the documents listed above, a sworn English translation is not yet enough to officially recognize the document. This requires legalization with an apostille. Besides the United Kingdom and the United States, 88 other countries are signatories to the international apostille convention. This convention ensures that we can legalize your translated English document by means of an apostille from a Dutch court. Urgent Vertalen can arrange that part for you quickly and inexpensively due to its convenient location in The Hague. Read more about the legalization of documents here.
