Notarial translation

Short answer

A sworn translation is certified with the translator's own stamp and accepted directly by Polish offices. A notarial translation is needed when the document must additionally go through a notary — for example, to sign a power of attorney or a contract at a notary's office, or when the recipient abroad specifically requires a notarially certified translation for an apostille or legalisation.

Frequently asked questions

How is a notarial translation different from a sworn translation?

A sworn translation is certified by the translator's own stamp and is accepted directly by Polish offices, social insurance and courts. A notarial translation is needed when the document must additionally go through a notary — for example, to sign a deed at a notary's office, or to legalise the translation for use outside Poland.

When do you specifically need a notarial translation?

Most often: when you're signing a power of attorney, a sale agreement or another deed at a notary and need a translator or a translated document for that act, or when the recipient abroad requires not just a translation but a notarially certified one for an apostille or consular legalisation.

Can I order a notarial translation outside Warsaw?

Yes, the service isn't tied to a city. Send a scan of the document online — we prepare the translation and arrange the notarial certification, then send the finished document anywhere in Poland.

How long does a notarial translation take?

Usually 2–4 business days — translation plus a notary appointment and the certification itself. The exact timeline depends on the document, language and the notary's availability.

How is the price calculated?

The price is the translation of the document plus the notary fee under the current schedule. We'll quote the final price after reviewing the document and confirming exactly what the receiving party requires.
