Certified employment contract translation
Do you want to have your employment contract sworn-translated? At Ecrivus International you arrange a legally valid translation of your employment contract online. The translation is produced by a sworn translator who is entered in the Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators (Rbtv). You receive a translation provided with the translator's stamp, signature and statement, so that institutions at home and abroad can accept the document as official.
What is a sworn translation of an employment contract?
A employment contract is a private contract between an employer and an employee. No government body is involved, so the document has no official certification of its own. A sworn translation solves this: the sworn translator declares that the translation is a faithful and accurate representation of the original and confirms this with a stamp and signature. This gives your translated employment contract legal validity.
When do you need a sworn translation?
You need a sworn translation of your employment contract particularly for use abroad, for example for a visa application, a residence permit, a mortgage or a new employer. Dutch authorities also regularly ask for a sworn translation when the original contract is drawn up in a foreign language.
Apostille for use abroad
Does your translated employment contract need to be used in another country? Then an apostille needed. A apostille is a statement issued by the court confirming the signature of the sworn translator on the translation. This legalisation is governed by the Apostille Convention (Hague Convention, 1961). We can have your document fitted with an apostille or legalisation if you wish.

Frequently asked questions about translating an employment contract
How do I know whether a translator is sworn?
A sworn translator is entered in the Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators (Rbtv) kept by the Legal Aid Board. The translation bears the translator's stamp and signature, together with a statement that the translation is a faithful representation of the original.
What are the rules for a sworn translation?
The sworn translator declares that the translation is a faithful and accurate representation of the original document or a copy of it. On the sworn translation you will also find the translator's stamp and signature. This makes the document legally valid.
What does it cost to have an employment contract sworn-translated?
At Ecrivus International a sworn translation costs from €59 per page. You select the number of pages and the language combination yourself, so you know the cost in advance.
Do I also need an apostille?
That depends on the country and authority where the employment contract is used. For many countries an apostille is required to confirm the signature of the sworn translator on the translation. The court issues the apostille under the Apostille Convention (Hague Convention, 1961). We can arrange this for you.
What is the difference from an ordinary translation?
An ordinary translation has no legal status. A sworn translation is provided by an Rbtv translator with a stamp, signature and statement, so that institutions accept the document as official and legally valid.
