Notarially certified translation
"Notarially certified translation" isn't another name for a sworn translation — it's a separate act: the notary certifies either the translator's signature on the translation or the conformity of a document copy with the original. Foreign institutions that don't directly recognise a Polish sworn translator's stamp use this exact wording and require an additional notarial confirmation, even when the sworn stamp alone would be enough for Polish offices.
Where are you submitting the document?
The office accepts a translation stamped by a sworn translator. No notary needed.

Frequently asked questions
How does a notarially certified translation differ from a sworn one?
A Polish sworn translator's stamp already carries legal force on its own and is usually accepted by Polish offices with no extra steps. But if a foreign university, bank, employer or partner has written the exact wording "notarized translation" in their requirements, they need a separate notarial act — certifying the translator's signature or the conformity of a document copy with the original. We follow the recipient's exact wording rather than offering one generic option.
How do I know the recipient needs exactly this, not just a translation?
It's usually stated in the written requirement: a document checklist, a university's admissions page or a bank form names the format directly — "notarized", "notarial certification", "apostille-ready translation". If the wording is unclear, send us the full requirement text — we'll work out which type of certification it describes before starting the translation.
Can I order this outside Warsaw?
Yes. Send a scan of the document and the requirement text online, we prepare the translation, arrange the notary appointment and complete the certification — the finished document is delivered by courier to any city in Poland.
How long does preparing this translation take?
Usually 2–4 business days: translation, the notary appointment and completing the certification act. The timeline can shift if the recipient's wording calls for certifying a document copy as well, not only the translator's signature.
What does the price consist of?
The translation cost plus the notary fee for the specific type of certification — it differs between certifying the translator's signature and certifying that a copy matches the original. We quote the exact price after reviewing the document and the requirement wording.
