An official document to be translated almost always comes with a deadline: an appeal, a reply to an authority, the filing of an application…
The time limit keeps running while the document waits.
The translation must be accurate, written in the language of the authority that will read it, and arrive on time.
Documents translated, for example
| Decisions | administrative decisions, notifications, correspondence with federal, cantonal or municipal authorities… |
|---|---|
| Social insurance | disability, pension, unemployment and accident insurance files… |
| Civil registration and residence | birth, marriage and other certificates, attestations, diplomas, residence and naturalisation files… |
| Business | company register extracts, articles of association, correspondence with tax and social security authorities… |
My approach to administrative texts
The language of the authority that will read it
A decision read in Lausanne is written in the language of the Vaud cantonal and federal authorities, a decision read in Brussels in that of the Belgian authorities.
When you order, tell me where the document will be read.
Deadlines stated in advance, and met
The quote gives a firm delivery date.
If it is urgent, say so when you first get in touch, and it will be treated as urgent.
The statement of accuracy
On request, the translation comes with a dated and signed statement of accuracy.
Check with the receiving authority that it meets its requirements.
From 9 languages: the details by language.

Before you commission any work, I will translate one page free of charge, so that you can judge the quality on your own text.
