What is a sworn translation of a business passport?

A business passport is issued by the municipality and is an official proof of identity. For use with a foreign authority, an ordinary translation is often not enough. A sworn translation is produced by a translator who is sworn in at the court and officially registered in the Dutch Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators (Rbtv). The translator provides the translation with a stamp, signature and statement that certifies the content as faithful and legally valid.

Why a sworn translation is needed

Foreign authorities, banks and business partners accept a translation of your business passport only if it is produced by a sworn translator for that purpose. This way the receiving authority knows for certain that the translation matches the original document. If you need the document abroad, you can have it fitted with an apostille or legalisation. An apostille is issued by the court and is based on the Apostille Convention (the Hague Convention of 1961).
