Certified warning letter translation

A warning letter(also called an official warning) is usually a private document. It often concerns a written warning from an employer to an employee within an employment law file. If you want to use such a letter abroad or with a foreign party, the receiving authority regularly asks for a sworn translation rather than an ordinary translation.

What is a sworn translation?

A sworn translation is a translation made by a translator registered in the Dutch Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators (Rbtv). This translator has taken an oath before the court. The translation is provided with a stamp, a signature and a statement that the text is a faithful rendering of the original. Because of this certification, the translation is legally valid and accepted by official authorities.

When do you need a sworn translation of a warning letter?

You need a sworn translation when a foreign employer, lawyer, court or other authority needs to be able to read the warning letter and rely on its accuracy. The requirement for a sworn translation is set by the receiving party. If it is not clearly stated, check with the authority that requests the document, so that you choose the right language and form.

Frequently asked questions about translating a warning letter

What is a sworn translation of a document?

The translator provides the translation with a stamp, a signature and a statement that the document has been translated truthfully and faithfully. This makes the translation legally valid.

Can I have the translation legalised with an apostille?
