Frequently asked questions

Brno — the questions we get most often.

Is a certified translation the same as a sworn translation in the Czech Republic?

Yes. In the Czech Republic, what English speakers usually call a “certified translation” is legally called a sworn translation (soudní překlad) — a translation with the round stamp of a court-appointed translator registered with the Czech Ministry of Justice. It is the same document and the only one Czech authorities accept.

Do I need a sworn translation for a trade licence in Brno?

Yes. To register as a self-employed contractor (živnost) in Brno, you typically need a sworn translation of your criminal record check and proof of education. We prepare these documents for IT contractors and other foreign professionals regularly.

Can you translate documents for Masaryk University or VUT?

Yes. We provide sworn translations of diplomas, transcripts and academic supplements for admission and nostrification at Masaryk University, VUT, Mendel University and other Brno institutions. The translation carries the stamp accepted by academic committees.

How quickly can I get a certified translation in Brno?

Standard personal documents (birth certificates, diplomas, criminal record checks) can be done in express mode within 24 hours, sometimes same-day. We confirm the deadline together with the price when reviewing your request.

Do I need to visit your office, or can I order online?

You can order online. Send a scan or photo of your document by e-mail, we will quote the job and confirm the deadline. The finished translation is delivered by post within the Czech Republic or as an electronic certified translation — no office visit required.
