Translation of notarial documents
In the Netherlands, many civil law matters (other than litigation) are dealt with by the ‘notaris’, or civil law notary. Unlike notaries public in the Anglo-Saxon world, civil law notaries are university-trained lawyers who are appointed by the Crown for life. They are experts in family law, succession law, corporate law and property law. Very useful information (in English) on the work and position of the civil law notary can be found on the website of the Royal Dutch Notarial Society (KNB).
The incorporation of legal entities, property conveyancing, mortgage deeds, transfer deeds, prenuptial agreements, wills, etc.: all fall within the domain of the civil law notary. Over the years we have developed particular expertise in translating the documents produced by civil law notaries.

Certified translations
When a translation of an official document has to be lodged with some official body, it is often stipulated that the translation must be ‘certified’, i.e. made by a sworn translator. We provide this service. All our legal translators are sworn translators and registered in the Netherlands Register of Sworn Interpreters and Translators (Rbtv).
Extra service: legalization
A certified translation can be validated by means of the standard ‘legalization’ procedure or, in certain circumstances, with a special court statement known as an ‘apostille’. We will be happy to undertake all formalities on your behalf, presenting a ‘ready-to-go’ product in the form of a fully legalized translated document.
Quality
With more than 60 years' experience we have a lot to offer to our customers. We know how important a thorough understanding of the subject matter is when translating any legal document. Legal translation demands very specialist knowledge and experience. That 100% accuracy is required goes without saying. Accordingly, we work exclusively with experienced, qualified ‘sworn’ translators and proofreaders who have an established and proven background in the field of legal translation.
Each translation is produced by a team of at least two highly professional and experienced translators: a specialist in the relevant field, and a translator/proofreader who ensures that the finished product is a full and correct rendering of the original text.
