Certified service agreement translation
A service agreement sets out the arrangements between a client and a service provider. Legally it is a contract for services (Article 7:400 of the Dutch Civil Code), a private contract without the involvement of a government body. If you work with a foreign party or the contract has to be submitted to an authority abroad, a sworn translation is often needed. At Ecrivus you arrange this online through a translator listed in the Dutch Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators (Rbtv).
What makes a certified translation legally valid
An ordinary translation is not enough for official use. For a sworn translation the legal translator confirms that the text is a faithful and accurate representation of your original document. The translation is provided with their stamp, signature and a signed statement, and is attached to the source document. This makes the translation legally valid and accepted by authorities. An AI tool or an ordinary translator cannot issue this statement.

Frequently asked questions about translating a service agreement
What is a certified translation of a service agreement?
It is a translation made by a sworn translator who is registered in the Dutch Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators (Rbtv). The translator adds their stamp, signature and a signed statement confirming that the translation is a faithful representation of the original. This makes the translation legally valid.
What requirements must a certified translation meet?
The sworn translator confirms that the translation is a faithful and accurate representation of the original document or a copy of it. The translation also bears the translator's stamp and signature, and is attached to the source document.
Do I need an apostille for my translated agreement?
That depends on the country where you use the contract. An apostille confirms the authenticity of the signature and is issued by the court under the Apostille Convention (The Hague Convention of 1961). We can provide your service agreement with an apostille or legalisation if you wish.
Can ChatGPT translate my legal agreement?
Not for official use. A sworn translation requires a signed statement of accuracy from a qualified, sworn translator. An AI tool cannot legally issue that statement, so such a translation is not legally valid.
What does translating a service agreement cost?
A sworn translation of your service agreement starts from €59 per page, including proofreading, quality checks and registered shipping. The exact price depends on the number of pages and the language combination you choose at the top of this page.
