HANDY HINTS

When a document containing Czech or Slovak names without diacritical marks (hooks and accents) is translated into Czech or Slovak, you can show me or give me the correct spelling of these names in harmony with original Czech passport or birth certificate of the person.

If you have to submit the translated document to the officers, but you would like to keep a copy for yourself or you might need it again later, you must provide me with the required number of source documents (originals/certified copies from a notary). Extra copies of a certified translation are issued only at the same time as the first translation itself. Later ordered translations (even though of the same document) count as new translations.

The certified translation must be attached to the source document in the original language. The source document should, if possible, be an original document with a handwritten signature and stamp imprint. If you want to keep your original separate, please provide me with a copy certified by a notary to be attached to the translation. If you do not have such an original, I can attach a normal print-out of your source document to the translation, but you must check with the accepting authority whether they accept it.

For some specific professional translations, you can offer me texts on similar topics in the target language or previous translations that you have been happy with, if you have such ones. Thereby we will ensure that I will use the correct terminology.

Order your translation or interpreting as soon as possible. Translations are also subject to the well-known rule: “Haste makes waste!”
