Why a sworn translation?

A sworn translation is produced by a translator listed in the Dutch Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators (Rbtv). The translator adds a stamp, signature and statement to the translation and attaches it to your source document. This makes the translation legally valid and recognised by authorities, lawyers and employers abroad. An ordinary or machine translation lacks this status and is often not accepted for official purposes.
