Tailored translation services for private individuals
It makes perfect sense to us, but we warmly welcome private individuals with their translation needs. Many translation agencies find working with private individuals time-consuming, but at Urgent Vertalen, we take it as a challenge to develop the right project plan for each private translation request.
Our clients have rated our service 9.5 out of 10 based on over 2,400 reviews, which we are incredibly proud of. Many private individuals call our translation advisors again after receiving their documents to thank us for easing their stress in often time-sensitive situations. That’s what drives us. Whether you’re getting married, going through a divorce, studying, or working abroad, we are dedicated to fully supporting private individuals in these scenarios.
Conveniently located in the Archipel neighbourhood of the Hague
Urgent Vertalen is located in the Archipel neighbourhood of The Hague, an area home to many embassies and consulates from around the world. We are familiar faces at these embassies and have developed informal communication with embassy staff. This is particularly useful for challenging cases, as mutual understanding of procedures helps streamline the process.
It’s no coincidence that many embassies and consulates refer you to our translation agency in The Hague; they trust that your translation and legalisation requests will be handled expertly once they are in our hands.
Why do you need a project plan?
Correctly translating documents from one language to another does not guarantee that the translation will be suitable for all purposes. For official use, the translation must be carried out by a sworn translator, with the sworn translation bearing a stamp, signature, and declaration from the sworn translator.
If are planning to use the documents outside of the Netherlands, they must also be legalized before they will be accepted in the preferred country. The method of legalization varies by country and by document. You don’t want to encounter unexpected issues abroad if your documents are ultimately not accepted. The consequences can be significant. Therefore, it is crucial to know in advance what is required for your purposes.
Our experienced translation advisors know exactly how your documents can be accepted abroad and will assist you in creating a project plan, free of charge. This can be done either over the phone or in person at our office over a cup of coffee or tea. No appointment is necessary at Urgent Vertalen, so feel free to visit us during our opening hours for a commitment-free translation plan.
The only true full-service translation agency in the Netherlands
Many translation agencies use the term “full-service,” but often fall short of delivering a service that truly meets your needs. You may end up paying for a fine translation that ultimately doesn’t serve your purpose, which is a waste of your money. True full-service translation goes beyond just translating; it should completely alleviate your concerns and ensure the achievement of your goals.
As mentioned earlier, a sworn translation often needs to be legalized, which usually must be done in The Hague. Being based in The Hague, Urgent Vertalen is uniquely positioned to start the legalization process the very same afternoon once the translation is complete, ensuring your documents are legalized in the shortest possible time. Within The Hague, we take care of all legalizations by bike, which is not only the fastest method in the city center but also environmentally friendly.
