Sworn translation into Polish for use in Poland

We translate Belarusian documents into Polish, signed and stamped by a sworn translator (tłumacz przysięgły), for Polish institutions. A photo is all we need: you do not have to send the original document.

  • A photo of the document is enough
  • Ready in 5–7 working days
  • Posted to you in Belarus or anywhere in Europe

What it is

Who certifies a sworn Polish translation

A tłumacz przysięgły does: a translator on the Polish Ministry of Justice list. In Poland this is a regulated profession, governed by the Act of 25 November 2004. Translators earn the right to certify translations by passing a state exam, taking an oath and being entered on the list.

Each translation carries the translator’s personal seal: their full name around the edge, the language and their list number in the centre. The translator adds the entry number from their register (repertorium). They also state whether the translation was made from the original or from a copy.

Our clients’ sworn translations are done by official sworn translators in Poland. You can check any of them on the public list kept by the Polish Ministry of Justice.

When you need it

Where in Poland you need a sworn translation

Polish authorities, universities, civil registry offices and employers usually ask for a sworn translation. In our experience, they often reject a notarised translation made in Belarus. The recipient sets the requirements, so check with them before you order.

  • Residence and work permits

    Documents for the voivodeship office (urząd wojewódzki): residence permit, work permit, family reunification.

  • Study

    School-leaving certificate, diploma with transcript, letters from your school or university. You need them for admission to a Polish university or recognition of your qualifications.

  • Work

    Diploma, employment record book, criminal record certificate, driving licence — whatever your employer asks for.

  • Family and civil registry

    Birth, marriage and divorce certificates for the Polish civil registry office (Urząd Stanu Cywilnego), a court or a notary.

What a sworn Polish translation costs

We quote for sworn translation from a photo: the price depends on the document and its length. Send the document via messenger and tell us which Polish institution you are submitting it to.

What to ask the Polish institution

Ask what kind of translation they accept and whether the document itself needs an apostille. If the answer is “tłumaczenie przysięgłe”, that is exactly what we do. A photo is enough, and the translation will be ready in 5–7 working days. — Nadezhda, Office Manager

Useful answers

Frequently asked questions

What to know before sending your documents.

Do you need the original document?

No. For a sworn translation, a clear photo of the document is enough, as long as it shows all seals and notes, including those on the back.

How long does a sworn translation into Polish take?

5–7 working days, plus postal delivery time.

How is a sworn translation different from a notarised one?

A sworn translation is certified by the translator, who is on the Polish Ministry of Justice list. A notarised translation is certified by a Belarusian notary, who certifies the translator’s signature, not the content of the translation. Poland usually requires a sworn translation.

Will a notarised translation from Belarus be accepted in Poland?

Often not: Polish institutions generally ask for a sworn translation. Only the institution you are submitting to can give you a definite answer.

Does a Belarusian document need an apostille for Poland?

Under Article 11 of the 1994 agreement on legal assistance between Poland and Belarus, official documents are accepted as evidence without legalisation. Some institutions may still ask for an apostille, so check with the recipient.

How are names spelt in the translation?

In Latin script, exactly as in your passport. If the spelling differs between your documents, let us know before we start.

I am already in Poland. Can I still order?

Yes. Send us a photo of the document via messenger, and we will post the original sworn translation to your address in Poland.
