The guarantees of our translation agency
Conventiently located in the Archipel neighbourhood of The Hague
Urgent Vertalen is located in the Archipel neighbourhood in The Hague, exactly where many embassies and consulates of a variety of countries are located. Of course, this means we are familliar faces to the embassies and are able to communicate with the embassy staff in an informal manner. Good for complicated files, that you know in advance what to expect from each other.
It’s no fluke that many embassies and consulates refer you to us, the leading translation agency of The Hague. They know things will proceed properly if you place your translation and legalization request with us.
Your translation in three simple steps
Why have a plan of action?
The correct translation of a document from one into the other language does not guarantee the suitability of the translation for all purposes. Official institutes require the translation to be performed by a sworn translator, with the sworn translation bearing the stamp, signature and statement of the sworn translator.
If you need to use the documents abroad, outside of the Netherlands, the documents also have to be legalized before they are accepted in the target country. The legalization method for documents differs from country to country. You don’t want to run into any unpleasant surprises abroad, e.g. if it turns out your documents are not accepted after all. This can have major consequences. This means that it is very important that you know the intended use of your translation in advance.
Our experienced translation advisers know exactly what process needs to be gone through so your documents can be accepted abroad. They are happy to help you make a plan of action for this, with no strings attached. This can be done via telephone, or in the comfort of our office. There is no need to make an appointment at Urgent Vertalen; feel free to walk in during our office hours for a non-binding translation plan.

The only true full-service translation agency in the Netherlands
Many translation agencies use the term ‘full-service’, but provide a service that is not recognised for your intended use. In that case, you pay for a great translation that is of no use to you, which is a waste of your money. Full-service translation goes beyond translation; it should completely take care of the process for you, in light of your intended use of the translation.
As mentioned earlier, a sworn translation also has to be legalized in most cases, which has to take place in The Hague. Based in The Hague, Urgent Vertalen is in the unique position to start the legalization procedure the same afternoon after the translation is completed and legalize your documents in the shortest possible time. Within The Hague, we provide all legalizations, visiting the necessary authorities by bicycle – both the fastest mode of transport within the city centre and also environmentally conscious.
