Pension award decision translation
Sworn translation of a decyzja emerytalna / pension award decision (PFU and equivalents) for ZUS: amounts, grounds, dates. A separate intent from the employment book and seniority certificate.
A pension award decision is an administrative act with amount, pension type and grounds. Cross-border ZUS pension cases need a sworn translation.
Pension decision translation for coordination with ZUS
Why is the employment book not enough?
The decision records the awarded pension, not only seniority.ZUS checks benefit type, award date and amounts. The book does not contain that.
What we must translate
Operative part, amounts, dates, body, full name.Calculation annexes — if they are in the pack and referenced in the decision.
PFU / social funds of other countries
We work with forms from different bodies.Body names and pension types are given verbatim with a Polish explanation.
Pack with seniority
Often filed with a seniority certificate or employment book.Separate URLs: decision, staż, książeczka — so Google and clients do not mix intents.
Updated decision
We translate the current version.If there were several recalculation decisions — ask ZUS which one to file.
Apostille
Sometimes yes — depends on country and filing channel.Stamp the original first (if required), then translate.
Languages for pension decision translation
We work both ways: a foreign document into Polish for offices in Poland, a Polish document into the destination-country language.
Documents from Ukraine for offices in Poland — the most common pair.
Soviet-era documents and those issued in Russia and Belarus.
Documents from the UK, Ireland, the USA, India and the UAE.
Polish documents for Ukrainian offices — certificates, extracts, rulings.
For foreign employers, universities and consulates.
For offices and banks in countries that require Russian.
Three types of translation — and when you need each
If the document goes to a public office — you need a sworn translation. Prices below are for Ukrainian, Russian and English; other languages are quoted separately.

Who already ordered
All reviewsI sent a photo in the evening, had a PDF by morning, and the paper copy in Wrocław two days later. Urząd Wojewódzki accepted it without questions.
They asked to match the name spelling to the passport — I would not have thought of it. That is why the pack was accepted first time.
The amount quoted on Telegram did not change. Good when there are no “extra pages” at the end.
