What is a service level agreement?

A service level agreement is an agreement between a provider and a customer of a service. It sets out what both parties may expect from the service, how quality is measured and what the costs are. In Dutch an SLA is also called a serviceniveau-overeenkomst or dienstenniveau-overeenkomst. Because an SLA is a legal document that records agreements, an accurate and reliable translation is important.

Why a sworn translation of your SLA?

A sworn translation is a translation produced by a translator who has been sworn in by a Dutch court and registered in the Dutch Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators (Rbtv). The translator adds a stamp, a signature and a statement that the translation is faithful to the original. This makes the translation legally valid and usable with official and legal authorities. If you need additional legalisation you can have the court verify the signature of the sworn translator by means of an apostille or legalisation.

Frequently asked questions about translating a service level agreement

What is a service level agreement in Dutch?

A service level agreement (SLA) is an agreement between a provider and a customer of a service that sets out what both parties may expect from the service and what the costs are. In Dutch an SLA is also called a serviceniveau-overeenkomst or dienstenniveau-overeenkomst.

How do you know whether a translator is sworn?

A translator is sworn when he or she has been sworn in by a Dutch court and is registered in the Dutch Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators (Rbtv). A sworn translation contains the translator's stamp, a signature and the statement that the translation is faithful to the original.

How can I legalise a sworn translation?

A sworn translation can be legalised by the court. The court then checks the signature under the sworn statement and confirms that it is the signature of the sworn translator and, for use abroad, an apostille is often added, based on the Apostille Convention.

Is a sworn translation of a service level agreement always necessary?

Not always. For internal use a regular translation is sometimes enough. A sworn translation is required when an official or legal authority asks for a legally valid translation with a stamp from a sworn translator for that purpose. If you are unsure, ask the authority that requests the translation.

What does it cost to translate a service level agreement?

A sworn translation of a service level agreement starts at Ecrivus International from €59. The final price depends on the number of pages and the chosen language combination, which you select at the top of this page.
