Sworn Greek translator

Geredigeerd door Ecrivus Multimedia — Rbtv-sworn translations

A sworn translator for Greek is a translator sworn in by a Dutch court and listed in the Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators (Rbtv). Only such a translator may provide your document with a stamp and a signed statement stating that the Greek translation completely matches the original. Because of that statement the translation is legally valid, and it is accepted by authorities such as the municipality, the IND, An notary or a foreign authority.

At Ecrivus you arrange your sworn translation in Greek fully online, from €59. You upload your document and we match it with a registered sworn translator who translates your text from Dutch into Greek or from Greek into Dutch. You receive the official translation with a stamp and statement, ready for use with the authority that asks for it.

Sworn Greek translation with apostille

For use abroad, in addition to the sworn translation often a apostille is needed. An apostille is an international stamp that confirms the authenticity of the signature on the document. The Netherlands, Greece and Cyprus are all three parties to the Apostille Convention (the Hague Convention of 1961), so a apostille voldoende is en een uitgebreide legalisation via embassy or consulate is no longer needed. We arrange the apostille on your sworn translation in Greek for you if required, so the document is valid without further steps in both the Netherlands and Greece.

Frequently asked questions about a sworn Greek translator

How much does a sworn Greek translator cost?

How do I know whether a Greek translator is sworn?

A sworn translator is sworn in by a Dutch court and listed in the Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators (Rbtv). You can check the registration in that public register. The translator provides your translation with a stamp and a signed statement; without those elements a translation is not sworn and therefore not legally valid.

What is the difference between a certified and a sworn Greek translation?

A sworn translation is made by a translator sworn in by a Dutch court and is therefore legally valid for official authorities. An ordinary certified or authenticated translation mainly confirms the quality, but lacks the legal status that authorities such as the municipality or the IND vragen. Voor official documents heeft u in Nederland een sworn translation is needed.

Can ChatGPT or Google Translate translate an official document?

No. A translation from ChatGPT or Google Translate is not legally valid and is not accepted for official use. For a valid translation, a signed statement of accuracy from a sworn translator is required, and a machine cannot legally provide that. Use machine translation at most to understand the content roughly, never for a document you must submit to an authority.
