Income / earnings certificate translation
Sworn translation of zaświadczenie o zarobkach for a residence card, loan, visa or tax office: amounts, period, employer. A short document — not an employment record book.
An earnings certificate shows income for a period and employer details. Residence card, loan or consulate filings need a sworn translation.
Income certificate translation for UW, bank and visa
What does the office check on this certificate?
Amount, period, full name, employer, issue date.UW and banks look at solvency. An employment book does not replace this — it has no salary amounts.
Freshness of the form
Often “not older than 1–3 months”.Translation does not extend validity. Get a current certificate from work first — then translate for the filing date.
Currency and net/gross
We carry them as in the original.We do not convert to PLN ourselves. If the form notes «netto/brutto» — we keep it.
Several employers / sole trader
Each certificate — a separate translation (or one pack).Send all forms at once — we align terminology and name transliteration.
Vs bank statement
Certificate = official amount from the employer; statement = account movements.If UW asks for a bank statement — that is `/tlumaczenie-wyciagu-bankowego`.
Apostille
Rare for UW in Poland.UK/USA visas sometimes ask. We check against the list.
Languages for income certificate 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.
